command has been configured) or is decremented by 1 from the incoming TTL value. If
MPLS needs to push more labels, it sets the TTL for each label according to the following
LER rules, because for those labels the router effectively is an ingress LER.
Rules for Processing on an LER
On an LER, when the packet is a locally originated IP packet, MPLS copies the TTL of all
pushed MPLS labels from the IP header when the
local
option for the
mpls ip
propagate-ttl
command has been configured. When the
no mpls ip propagate-ttl local
command has been configured, MPLS sets the TTL to 255.
When the packet is a forwarded IP or MPLS packet, MPLS copies the TTL of all pushed
labels from the inner IP or MPLS header when the
forwarded
option for the
mpls ip
propagate-ttl
command has been configured. When the
no mpls ip propagate-ttl
forwarded
command has been configured, MPLS sets the TTL for these pushed labels
to 255.
When the packet is neither IP nor MPLS, such as a Martini packet, MPLS sets the TTL of
all pushed labels to 255.
