7950 SR OS MPLS Configuration Guide
The LSR performs a label swapping operation on a leaf of the P2MP LSP. This is a
conventional operation of an LSR in a P2P LSP. An ILM entry is programmed at the
ingress of the LSR to map an incoming label to a NHLFE.
Packets that arrive with the TTL in the outer label expiring are sent to the CPM for further
processing and are not forwarded to the egress NHLFE.
The LSR performs a replication and a label swapping for each leaf of the P2MP LSP. An
ILM entry is programmed at the ingress of the LSR to map an incoming label to a list of
OIF and corresponding NHLFEs.
There is a limit of 127 OIF/NHLFEs per ILM entry.
Packets that arrive with the TTL in the outer label expiring are sent to the CPM for further
processing and not copied to the LSP branches.
