BGP points that traffic should be forwarded over backup path instead of primary path.

BGP PIC. CE dual-homed to 2 PE(s) Same RD is configured on the VRFs of the dual-homed PE(s) Primary path (CE-PE) is redistributed via OSPF/IGP on both PE(s) Primary path (CE-PE) is down on PE and triggers label retention on PE (traffic over backup path) New prefixes are learnt after primary path (CE-PE) is down
Clear bgp version for the prefix (e.g.): RP/0/0/CPU0:PE1#clear bgp version vpnv4 unicast rd 65000:123 10.0.0.6/31
Issue is really rare to happen and has only been reported on a heavy churn of routes over IGP in use (OSPF on example above).
