"Destination Cleanup Object" (DCO), which originates at a common "Destination Cleanup Object" (DCO), which originates at a common
ancestor node and flows downstream the old path. The common ancestor ancestor node and flows downstream the old path. The common ancestor
node generates a DCO when removing a next hop to a target -- for node generates a DCO when removing a next hop to a target -- for

The 6LRs in the path for the DCO take such action as route The 6LRs in the path for the DCO take such action as route
