NETPATH MPLS AWARE

NETPATH could also be more usefull if it could show all the internal nodes in the network.

Eg: when i create a probe to www.google.com we have a lot of internal nodes from the probe to the Border router. All these are MPLS.

Is there a way to do it?

Hi, cunhal -

When you mention internal nodes are you referring to switches? NetPath cannot detect switches as they are Layer 2 devices and do not participate in routing.

Do your MPLS devices have TTL propagation disabled?

cunhal

No they are Routers.

cunhal

Yes.

jeff.stewart

Are you willing to enable TTL propagation and see what results you get?

cunhal

is there no other way? because this is a nw design feature advised by the supplier. It will be difficult do enable it.

We use Sprint for our MPLS cloud and I'm guessing they have icmp 11 disabled/blocked. We can see their edge router, but no other routing inside the cloud. So we are blind in the Sprint cloud between our routers. I doubt they would enable/allow that on all their devices for us .
