    Abstract: An example method includes selecting, by a network device, a remote LFA next hop as an alternate next hop for forwarding network traffic from the network device to a destination, wherein the selected remote LFA next hop provides node protection to a primary next hop node on the shortest path from the network device to the destination. The method includes, for each candidate remote LFA next hop, performing a forward shortest path first (SPF) computation having the respective candidate remote LFA next hop as a root to compute a path segment between the respective candidate remote LFA next hop and the destination, wherein each of the candidate remote LFA next hops is the egress of a respective potential repair tunnel between the network device and candidate remote LFA next hop, and selecting the remote LFA next hop based at least in part on the computed path segments.

    Abstract: In one example, a network device determines a set of candidate loop-free alternate (LFA) next hops for forwarding network traffic from the network device to a multi-homed network by taking into account a first cost associated with a second path from a first border router to the multi-homed network and a second cost associated with a second border router to the multi-homed network, wherein the multi-homed network is external to an interior routing domain in which the network device is located. The network device selects an LFA next hop from the set of candidate LFA next hops, to be stored as an alternate next hop for forwarding network traffic to the multi-homed network, and updates forwarding information stored by the network device to install the selected LFA next hop as the alternate next hop for forwarding network traffic from the network device to the multi-horned network.
