How does as-path poisoning failing (i.e. the AS you wanted to ignore a
route accepts it) cause a hard outage? When used for TE, a failure just
means a route/path you wanted some remote network to ignore is not ignored
and might be used. i.e. Your TE may not work as desired, but the packets
will still get to you, just not necessarily via the path you wanted them
to take.
