Which IP Algo prefix as BGP service endpoint is not determined by the ingress 
node, Such as VXLAN and SRv6 VPN. 
When the ingress node receives an BGP Service cayyied a IP algo prefix as 
endpoint and it has a algo 0 default route,
it should be process this BGP service. and this can not be affected by the IGP 
Flexalgo prefix. Therefore, 
the IGP does only not generate the RIB/Fib for LSinfinity Metric prefix, but 
can not trigger BGP Service Down.
In addition, LSinfinity Metric may be applied to other scenarios in the future. 
We cannot guarantee that LSinfinity Metric 
will not conflict with other purposes when being processed as a UPA.
