Indeed. Especially considering the potential introduction of transient fowarding loops when attempting to utilize pre-computed backup "links" in a vanilla DA-based packet-switched network.
I don't care about transient loop induction while in the process of converging. That problem is much harder to solve. What I do care about is a table like the following handed to the NOC/operational folks. In case link A is down: If nothing else is wrong: type in the following..... If link B is down: type in the following..... If link C is also down: type in the following... If link C is down, but B is up ..... I sense combinatorials and other unpleasantness lurking. /vijay
