This draft addresses a fail-over issue related to a multi areas or levels domain, where a link or node down event occurs resulting in an LPM component prefix being omitted from the FIB resulting in black hole sink of routing and connectivity loss. This draft introduces a new control plane convergence signaling mechanism using a negative prefix called Prefix Unreachable Announcement (PUA), utilized to detect a link or node down event and signal the RIB that the event has occurred to force immediate control plane convergence.}, }
