And you haven't checked since? In my experience, path redundancy doesn't stay

eliminates the path redundancy, and I don't know if it's possible to win
against the transmissions people about that.. We've fought with carriers about
that for a very long time, and didn't get anywhere..

Shouldn't/Don't carriers flag paths that are part of path redundancy
links to avoid automatically re-routing them?
