Supported TLVs

Table 59 lists the TLVs supported by the MPLS LSP ping feature. Table 60 lists the sub-TLVs supported for the Target FEC Stack TLV.

Table 59: TLVs Supported by MPLS LSP ping

1

Target FEC Stack

Multiple FEC stack sub-TLVs are not supported. A single LSP ping message cannot have more than one target FEC stack TLV.

2

Downstream Mapping

Only the IPv4 (numbered or unnumbered) downstream address type is supported.

Flag I for the Interface and Label Stack object is supported. Flag N, to treat the packet as a non-IP packet, is not supported.

An MPLS LSP trace echo request includes this TLV. This TLV contains the downstream address all-routers-multicast; that is the well-known IP address 224.0.0.2. Validation of the downstream address is not performed.

Verification of the downstream address is not performed on receipt of an MPLS echo request that contains this TLV.

In an MPLS echo reply, multipath information is not supported in this TLV; the multipath type is always set to 0 in the reply. However, the reply includes one downstream mapping TLV for each downstream path.

3

Pad

This TLV is included in the MPLS echo request packet. The TLV can specify either “ Do not reply” or “ Reply via an IPv4/IPv6 UDP packet.”

7

Interface and Label Stack

This TLV is generated if requested by the received downstream mapping TLV.

9

Errored TLVs

This TLV is generated if an error is encountered while parsing one of the received TLVs.

10
