Spirent TestCenter: Why does modifying the MPLS header make the IPv4 header disappear?

Environment/Versions
  • Any Spirent TestCenter version
  • Any Operating System
  • Any Hardware type
Answer
  • When selecting the autofeature the Bottom of Label Stack is automatically set to 1
  • If you do not use the autofeature, the Bottom of Label Stack is set to 0, which prevents networking devices and Wireshark from detecting the end of the MPLS header
  • You will have to set this bit manually depending on the behaviour you want (correct or incorrect frame)
