ECMP Considerations

Whenever the SPF computation determined there is more than one primary next-hop for a prefix, it

will not program any LFA next-hop in RTM. Thus, the LDP FEC will resolve to the multiple

primary next-hops in this case which provides the required protection.

Also note that when the system ECMP value is set to ecmp=1 or to no ecmp, which translates to

the same and is the default value, SPF will be able to use the overflow ECMP links as LFA next-

hops in these two cases.

IOM for this LDP peer only.

brings down the link LDP session to this peer. In this case, LDP sends a neighbor/next-hop

down message to the IOM for this LDP peer only. BFD support on LDP interfaces is a

new feature introduced for faster tracking of link LDP peers. See Section 1.2.1 for more
