This is usually done with MPLS based cores. Essentially, the IP TTL is not modified at egress to relfect the number of MPLS "hops" within the network which essentially makes the entire MPLS cloud look like one hop. However, the MPLS TTL is still used with the cloud for loop mitigation. Turning off TTL decrementing would remove the loop mitigation capability in IP which would result in packets looping endlessly which really isn't a good thing, and certainly not worth the tradeoff gained by hiding ones topology ;-) Pete > Thanks! > > > _______________________________________________________________ > Yahoo!
