Which two features describe TI-LFA? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. TI-LFA uses PQ or P and Q nodes on the post-convergence path to compute the backup path. E. TI-LFA leverages the post-convergence path that carries data traffic after a failure. TI-LFA computes a backup path for Segment Routing by leveraging the post-convergence path and identifying specific P and Q nodes to ensure loop-free forwarding after a failure.
Question
Which two features describe TI-LFA? (Choose two.)
Options
- ATI-LFA uses PQ or P and Q nodes on the post-convergence path to compute the backup path.
- BPost-convergence, TI-LFA considers the next-hop neighbor to calculate the backup repair path.
- CTI-LFA works with point of local repair when the PQ node supports only LDP capability.
- DUnlike RLFA, TI-LFA works without the PQ node and provides double segment failure protection.
- ETI-LFA leverages the post-convergence path that carries data traffic after a failure.

Why each option
TI-LFA computes a backup path for Segment Routing by leveraging the post-convergence path and identifying specific P and Q nodes to ensure loop-free forwarding after a failure.
TI-LFA computes a backup repair path by identifying P (Post-convergence path neighbor from PLR) and Q (node further along the post-convergence path that can reach the destination without traversing the protected resource) nodes. This ensures the computed backup path is loop-free from the perspective of the protected destination on the post-convergence path.
TI-LFA considers the entire post-convergence path and its properties, not just the isolated next-hop neighbor, to ensure loop-freedom for the repair path.
TI-LFA is a Segment Routing FRR mechanism and does not depend on LDP capability for PQ nodes; it uses SR identifiers (SIDs) for its operations.
TI-LFA explicitly relies on the concept of P and Q nodes to compute its backup path, and its primary focus is 100% coverage for single link/node failures, not 'double segment failure protection'.
A fundamental aspect of TI-LFA is that it computes a backup path that emulates the behavior of the post-convergence path, meaning the repair tunnel effectively routes traffic along the path that the network would eventually use after a failure has fully converged, thus preventing transient loops.
