  • 1.  MPLS L3vpn traceroute question

    Posted 07-23-2023 01:22

    I have a following topology

    CE1  ---->PE1 ------->RR------>PE2 ----->CE2
    on PE2

    root@Demo-LS# show logical-systems PE2 | display set

set interfaces ge-0/0/2 unit 10 vlan-id 10

    From CE2, traceroute as follows:

    root@Demo-LS# run traceroute 140.142.251.100 logical-system SeattlePC   
    traceroute to 140.142.251.100 (140.142.251.100), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
     1  10.50.20.10 (10.50.20.10)  4.175 ms  2.297 ms  1.425 ms                            PE2
     2  10.50.0.72 (10.50.0.72)  8.077 ms  6.461 ms  4.669 ms                                  RR
         MPLS Label=299792 CoS=0 TTL=1 S=0
         MPLS Label=16 CoS=0 TTL=1 S=1
     3  10.51.10.1 (10.51.10.1)  6.737 ms  4.706 ms  7.543 ms                                  PE1    (why no label shown for this line)
     4  10.51.10.0 (10.51.10.0)  81.372 ms  142.349 ms  141.163 ms
     5  140.142.251.100 (140.142.251.100)  186.980 ms  127.329 ms  140.676 ms

    From CE1, I did  traceroute to the following:

    root@TDC-LS> traceroute 140.142.41.100 source 140.142.251.100 logical-system CFW      
    traceroute to 140.142.41.100 (140.142.41.100) from 140.142.251.100, 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
     1  140.142.27.195 (140.142.27.195)  113.023 ms  160.165 ms  165.151 ms
     2  10.51.10.1 (10.51.10.1)  163.937 ms  160.708 ms  162.757 ms                               10.51.10.1 is PE1
     3  10.50.0.94 (10.50.0.94)  164.166 ms  164.309 ms  161.976 ms                               10.50.0.94 is RR
         MPLS Label=299776 CoS=0 TTL=1 S=0
         MPLS Label=16 CoS=0 TTL=1 S=1
     4  10.50.20.10 (10.50.20.10)  169.344 ms  167.168 ms  161.481 ms                        10.50.20.10 is in VRF on PE2
     5  140.142.41.100 (140.142.41.100)  166.046 ms  162.767 ms  164.566 ms

    I do not understand Line 4. I expect to see  10.50.0.73. not 10.50.20.10 which is used in the vrf to peer with CE2.

    I had the same topology in other lab, I got the following:

    root@CE1# run traceroute 10.12.1.2 logical-system JCust-1

    traceroute to 10.12.1.2 (10.12.1.2), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

     1  10.11.1.1 (10.11.1.1)  187.381 ms  1.907 ms  1.777 ms

     2  172.16.1.2 (172.16.1.2)  307.530 ms  10.823 ms  6.122 ms

         MPLS Label=299776 CoS=0 TTL=1 S=0

         MPLS Label=299792 CoS=0 TTL=1 S=1

     3  172.16.2.1 (172.16.2.1)  4.974 ms  6.760 ms  4.366 ms

         MPLS Label=299792 CoS=0 TTL=1 S=1

     4  10.12.1.2 (10.12.1.2)  6.080 ms  6.715 ms  6.685 ms

     

     What have I missed ?

    thanks a lot in advance !!

    I noticed it is related which IP the device selects to response traceroute packet.  trying to find the information on this.

    Based on my understanding, normally 

    the receiving device will send an ICMP message "TTL Expired" from the interface that received that packet.

    But I did see the loopback IP responses traceroute packets.

    when does a device select other IP to response traceroute packets ?

    thanks !!
