    mpls: allow TTL propagation to IP packets to be configured · 5b441ac8
    Robert Shearman 提交于
    Provide the ability to control on a per-route basis whether the TTL
    value from an MPLS packet is propagated to an IPv4/IPv6 packet when
    the last label is popped as per the theoretical model in RFC 3443
    through a new route attribute, RTA_TTL_PROPAGATE which can be 0 to
    mean disable propagation and 1 to mean enable propagation.
    
    In order to provide the ability to change the behaviour for packets
    arriving with IPv4/IPv6 Explicit Null labels and to provide an easy
    way for a user to change the behaviour for all existing routes without
    having to reprogram them, a global knob is provided. This is done
    through the addition of a new per-namespace sysctl,
    "net.mpls.ip_ttl_propagate", which defaults to enabled. If the
    per-route attribute is set (either enabled or disabled) then it
    overrides the global configuration.
