Strict Downstream Alternates
It is possible to provide link and node protection even in inapplicable scenarios – by requiring that the alternate is strictly closer to the destination than S, the link or the node being protecting.
Substantially limits coverage – more restrictive than downstream paths.
Cannot provide SRLG protection b/c SRLG protection is path based not distance based, and the path taken is unknown.
May be useful for problems scenarios?

Opinions?
