To be used in event of a single failure to protect IP and/or LDP traffic until SPF has converged.

Non-Primary neighbor N is loop-free with regard to a source S and a destination D if
D!S(N,D) = Dopt(N,D) < Dopt(N,S) + Dopt(S,D)

Safe and Simple local decision but
insufficient Loop-Free alternatives in real networks
Multiple links to primary neighbor give alternate to primary neighbor (no node protection)
