Manual ifconfig xxx down ; ifconfig xxx up needs manual ip route add xxxx
If tunnel can go down caused by unknown reason, and goes up by magic, then we may needs such.
Better not depend on magic, and if so, lets task this magic with the complete job :-)

If iface goes down, all neighbor state should be cleaned up.
After it goes up again, adjacency will follow and routes will be restored. 
OK, this takes time. But why is there a need to speed up, with probably wrong state?
