Description: This value signifies the role that this tunnel entry/instance represents. This value MUST be set to head(1) at the originating point of the tunnel. This value MUST be set to transit(2) at transit points along the tunnel, if transit points are supported. This value MUST be set to tail(3) at the terminating point of the tunnel if tunnel tails are supported.

The value headTail(4) is provided for tunnels that begin and end on the same LSR.

What is mplsTunnelRole?

Signifies this tunnel entry's role: head(1) at the originating LSR, transit(2) along the path, tail(3) at the terminating LSR, or headTail(4) when the tunnel begins and ends on the same LSR, defaulting to head. An admin checks this to confirm whether a given tunnel table row represents the tunnel's ingress, a mid-path hop, or its egress on this device.
