Hi Stephane and Bruno,
I do not think programming multiple SIDs makes sense. While there are multiple 
MS prefix sub-TLVs, there is only single active route for the prefix with 
potentially ECMP next-hops which was resolved from a received IP reachability 
TLV.

I agree that selecting one of the entries is preferable to dropping traffic. We 
could come up with selection criteria but the reality is that there no way for 
the router to check if any of the MS entries is legitimate or not. As a result, 
I would think that once an entry is selected based on the criteria and 
programmed, we should not be changing it unless the MS entry is withdrawn.

Mustapha.
