Usage guidelines
When TTL propagation is enabled, MPLS does the following:
Copies the IP TTL to the label TTL for packets entering the MPLS network.
Copies the label TTL to the IP TTL for packets leaving the MPLS network.
If you enable TTL propagation on both the ingress and egress, the IP tracert facility can show the real
path in the MPLS network.
When TTL propagation is disabled, MPLS does the following:
Sets the label TTL to 255 for packets entering the MPLS network.
Pops the label for packets leaving the MPLS network, without copying the label TTL value to the IP
TTL.
The IP tracert facility cannot show the real path in the MPLS network.
Within an MPLS network, TTL is always copied between the labels of an MPLS packet. The mpls ttl
propagate command affects only the propagation between IP TTL and label TTL.
HP recommends that you set the same TTL processing mode on all LSRs of an LSP.
To enable TTL propagation for a VPN, you must enable it on all PE devices in the VPN, so that you can
get the same traceroute result (hop count) from those PEs.
