Control-Plane: Routing Protocol Changes
A router must know
If a neighbor can redirect U-turning traffic on a particular interface
Interface-wide capability - not tied to particular traffic prefixes
And the policy configuration that neighbor has for using its interfaces as alternates.
Assumes operator has administrative control to disallow using an interface as an alternate.

Signal this information via a new Link Capabilities sub-TLV in IGP:
1 bit : U-turn capable recipient
1 bit : Eligible Alternate

No additional signaling required based on topology changes (i.e. at time of failure or after).
