From aa7da9375677d31dd53ed6253f55cb19e3075811 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2015 16:23:23 -0600 Subject: mpls: Correct the ttl decrement. According to RFC3032 section 2.4.2 packets with an outgoing ttl of 0 MUST NOT be forwarded. According to section 2.4.1 an outgoing TTL of 0 comes from an incomming TTL <= 1. Therefore any packets that is received with a ttl <= 1 should not have it's ttl decremented and forwarded. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S.
