QuestionQ16

Multiprotocol Label Switching

A Nokia 7750 SR label-switches a packet that it receives. The packet has an outer-label TTL of 250 and an inner-label TTL of 251. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Explanation

An MPLS label-switching router decrements the TTL of the top label as it swaps that label for forwarding. The inner label remains unprocessed and retains its existing TTL, resulting in an outer-label TTL of 249 and an inner-label TTL of 251.
