COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Are there any operational considerations worth mentioning in the document?
I believe we mentioned the ones that exists in the appropriate sections - 3.3, 4.3, 5, 6,
Would setting the UP flag cause other properly implemented systems not
supporting the flag to change behaviour?

absolutely not. All routers understand the "unreachable" metric that we use for UPA because such metric is part of the base protocol specification. As a result, all routers, regardless whether they understand the new flags or not, will ignore UPA advertisement during the route calculation.

Routers that understand the new flags and are configured to use them will do so on top.

thanks,
Peter

I assume this would not be the case
and that is why no operational considerations were added?
