    In the topology below  PE1's loopback address, 1.1.1.1 is able to ping PE2's 6.6.6.6. Both PE1 and PE2 are pushing labels to their next-hop LSR's. The LSR routers then transit the labels and swap them on each hop until reaching the PHP and popping the label before PE1 and PE2.

    My question is why can I ping the loopback address, but when I traceroute I only see the following... (I am seeing packet loss on the pings) this lab is also in EVE-NG using vMX routers.

    root@PE1> ping 6.6.6.6 source 1.1.1.1
PING 6.6.6.6 (6.6.6.6): 56 data bytes

    Any help appreciated. thanks.

    Hi Jack, 

    if i have to guess, the normal ping is using inet.0 while your traceroute is not, try enabling ICMP tunneling on your LSRs, that should allow the ICMP traffic to be send through the LSP and see each one of the labels in the path. 

    set protocols mpls icmp-tunneling

    Thanks
