-Examining the detail of the received ICMP TTL exceeded packets with Wireshark reveals an ICMP Mutli-part extension that carries the MPLS label.+Examining the detail of the received ICMP time exceeded messages with Wireshark reveals an ICMP Multi-part extension that carries the MPLS label as it arrived to the hop sending the message. In the following capture, the router ''te4-2-rouen-rtr-021.noc.renater.fr'' received label 53, most probably from the MPLS edge router ''renater-ix1.sfinx.tm.fr''.
