Andy,

I think the shutdown notification has a wider meaning; anytime the LSR
chooses to terminate a session, it sends the shutdown msg. e.g. during
Software upgrades, manual process restarts etc. That still means that the 
forwarding state is intact. A better idea is probably to delete the label 
mappings from the peer explicitly during planned shutdown.

Thanks/Pradosh
