Robert Shearman says: ==================== mpls: allow TTL propagation from IP packets to be configured Allow TTL propagation from IP packets to MPLS packets to be configured. Add a new optional LWT attribute, MPLS_IPTUNNEL_TTL, which allows the TTL to be set in the resulting MPLS packet, with the value of 0 having the semantics of enabling propagation of the TTL from the IP header (i.e. non-zero values disable propagation). Also allow the configuration to be overridden globally by reusing the same sysctl to control whether the TTL is propagated from IP packets into the MPLS header. If the per-LWT attribute is set then it overrides the global configuration. If the TTL isn't propagated then a default TTL value is used which can be configured via a new sysctl, "net.mpls.default_ttl". This is kept separate from the configuration of whether IP TTL propagation is enabled as it can be used in the future when non-IP payloads are supported (i.e. where there is no payload TTL that can be propagated). ==================== Signed-off-by: Robert Shearman <rshearma@brocade.com> Acked-by: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
