When R1 sends pkts at and they are timeout on reponse? It'll have to walk
its tables to find an alternative
party to crash.

If we have the following figure:
R1---------R2---------R3---------R4 where R1 to R4 are unicast routers.
R1 is sending packets to R4. If R4 goes down, when R1 will detect this??
Before sending packets or after?
Your question presupposes that R1 is somehow aware of R4. If you can answer
how that is, you will know if/when R1 will detect a subsequent failure.
