1618406PVL: RLI48458: [segment_routing] [SR-ISIS] ptx10004/ptx10008 :: Traceroute failing in ecmp case, when EVO is a transit router.
Product-Group=evo
Traceroute in MPLS OAM on SR over IPv6 may fail in ECMP case if EVO box is in topology. This is because linux kernel in EVO puts an autoflowlabel on every IPv6 packet. This flow label is transparent to daemon process, which uses a null value for it and calculates the NH details. PFE however takes the flow label into account and calculates the NH details. This difference in calculation of NH details leads to a mismatch in the path the packet takes to the destination and can cause traceroute to fail.

Product-Group=evo
On Junos Evolved dual RE (Routing Engine) platforms, the rpd (routing protocol daemon) may crash if the NSR (Non-Stop Routing) switchover is performed before even the backup rpd is NSR ready. If the issue is encountered, the rpd may get stuck and not install routes. The workaround to avoid this is to perform the switchover when backup RE is fully synced.
