The MPLS LSP Ping feature is used to check the connectivity between Ingress LSR and egress LSRs along an LSP. MPLS LSP ping uses MPLS echo request and reply messages, similar to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request and reply messages, to validate an LSP. While ICMP echo request and reply messages validate IP networks, MPLS echo and reply messages validate MPLS networks. The MPLS echo request packet is sent to a target router through the use of the appropriate label stack associated with the LSP to be validated. Use of the label stack causes the packet to be forwarded over the LSP itself. The destination IP address of the MPLS echo request packet is different from the address used to select the label stack. The destination IP address is defined as a 127.x.y.z/8 address and it prevents the IP packet from being IP switched to its destination, if the LSP is broken.

An MPLS echo reply is sent in response to an MPLS echo request. The reply is sent as an IP packet and it is forwarded using IP, MPLS, or a combination of both types of switching. The source address of the MPLS echo reply packet is an address obtained from the router generating the echo reply. The destination address is the source address of the router that originated the MPLS echo request packet. The MPLS echo reply destination port is set to the echo request source port.

The following figure shows MPLS LSP ping echo request and echo reply paths.

By default, the ping mpls ipv4 command tries to determine the Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) being used automatically. However, this is only applicable at head-end and works only if the FEC at the destination is same as the source. If the source and destination FEC types are not the same, the ping mpls ipv4 command may fail to identify the targeted FEC type. You can overcome this limitation by specifying the FEC type in MPLS LSP ping using the fec-type command option. If the user is not sure about the FEC type at the transit or the destination, or it may change through network, use of the generic FEC type command option is recommended. Generic FEC is not coupled to a particular control plane and allows path verification when the advertising protocol is unknown, or may change during the path of the echo request. If you are aware of the destination FEC type, specify the target FEC as BGP or LDP.

The MPLS LSP Traceroute feature is used to isolate the failure point of an LSP. It is used for hop-by-hop fault localization and path tracing. The MPLS LSP Traceroute feature relies on the expiration of the Time to Live (TTL) value of the packet that carries the echo request. When the MPLS echo request message hits a transit node, it checks the TTL value and if it is expired, the packet is passed to the control plane, else the message is forwarded. If the echo message is passed to the control plane, a reply message is generated based on the contents of the request message.

The following figure shows an MPLS LSP traceroute example with an LSP from LSR1 to LSR4.

By default, the traceroute mpls ipv4 command tries to determine the Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) being used automatically. However, this is only applicable at head-end and works only if the FEC at the destination is same as the source. If the source and destination FEC types are not the same, the traceroute mpls ipv4 command may fail to identify the targeted FEC type. You can overcome this limitation by specifying the FEC type in MPLS LSP traceroute using the fec-type command option. If the user is not sure about the FEC type at the transit or the destination, or it may change through network, use of the generic FEC type command option is recommended. Generic FEC is not coupled to a particular control plane and allows path verification when the advertising protocol is unknown, or may change during the path of the echo request. If you are aware of the destination FEC type, specify the target FEC as BGP or LDP.

A Point to Multipoint (P2MP) TE network contains the following elements:

• Headend Router

  The headend router, also called the source or ingress router, is responsible for initiating the signaling messages that set up the P2MP TE LSP. The headend router can also be a branch point, which means the router performs packet replication and the sub-LSPs split into different directions.

• Midpoint Router

  The midpoint router is where the sub-LSP signaling is processed. The midpoint router can be a branch point.

• Tailend Router

  The tailend router, also called the destination, egress, or leaf-node router, is where sub-LSP signaling ends. The router which is one of potentially many destinations of the P2MP TE LSP.

• Bud Router

  A bud router is a midpoint and tailend router at the same time. An LSR that is an egress LSR, but also has one or more directly connected downstream LSRs.

• Branch Router

  A branch router is either a midpoint or tailend router at any given time.

• Transit Router

  A transit router is an LSR that is not an egress router, but also has one or more directly connected downstream routers.

• A P2MP tunnel consists of one or more sub-LSPs.All sub-LSPs belonging to the same P2MP tunnel employ the same constraints, protection policies, and so on, which are configured at the headend router.

Elements of P2MP TE Network illustrates the elements of P2MP TE network.

P2MP TE tunnels build on the features that exist in basic point-to-point TE tunnels. The P2MP TE tunnels have the following characteristics:

• There is one source (headend) but more than one destination (tailend).

• They are unidirectional.

• They are explicitly routed.

• Multiple sub-LSPs connect the headend router to various tailend routers.

The P2MP ping feature is used to check the connectivity between Ingress LSR and egress LSR, along a P2MP LSP. The Ingress LSR sends the P2MP echo request message along the specified P2MP LSP. All egress LSRs which receive the P2MP echo request message from the ingress LSR must send a P2MP echo reply message to the ingress LSR, according to the reply mode specified in the P2MP echo request message.

The P2MP traceroute feature is used to isolate the failure point of a P2MP LSP.

Traceroute can be applied to all nodes in the P2MP tree. However, you can select a specific traceroute target through the P2MP Responder Identifier TLV. An entry in this TLV represents an responder-id or a transit node. This is only the case for P2MP TE LSPs.

Note	Only P2MP TE LSP IPv4 is supported. If the Responder Identifier TLV is missing, the echo request requests information from all responder-ids.

This example shows an extract of the P2MP ping command.
