[mpls-linux-general] to what layer-3 entity does DLV deliver?

[Stefan W. <ma...@st...>]

Hello,

after reading utils/README it is not entirely clear to me how a InSegment DLV 
command behaves. The readme only states it will deliver the packet to _a_ 
layer-3 Entity. Now, on devices that support IPv4 and IPv6 this is not 
trivial to decide. Does mpls-linux actually look into the layer 3 header to 
find out where to deliver to? According to the LSR-STD-MIB, this should be a 
property to explicitly set (mplsInSegmentAddrType in mplsInSegmentTable). Is 
such an explicit setting supported / needed?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
