Hi Anton,

As I replied to Jeff, in case of disjoint topologies, we are no more related to 
per AF activation but more to a per topology activation which is different.

Regarding the "per-prefix" control, this is also proposed in the draft. Per-AF 
was added in order to have a simple mechanism to exclude a family of prefixes 
(sort of subset of per prefix).

Best Regards,

Stephane

Subject: Re: LFA manageability : per AF config => feedback required

    Hi Stephane,
    I think concern of "alternate nexthops consume resources in the forwarding 
plane" is generally a valid one. But if you want to solve
*this* problem then solution is to give to operator great flexibility to select 
set of prefixes which are allowed to have protection and this flexibility 
should go beyond of just per-AF selection.

    Per-context selection would actually solve different problem - CPU 
resources needed to compute LFAs (which are spent per-topology independent of 
number of nexthops which end up being protected).

    So IMO per-AF granularity might be useful (especially in disjoint
topologies) but reason given in the draft does not connect with the solution.

Anton
