+MPLS Sysfs variables
+====================
+
+/proc/sys/net/mpls/* Variables:
+===============================
+
+platform_labels - INTEGER
+	Number of entries in the platform label table.  It is not
+	possible to configure forwarding for label values equal to or
+	greater than the number of platform labels.
+
+	A dense utilization of the entries in the platform label table
+	is possible and expected as the platform labels are locally
+	allocated.
+
+	If the number of platform label table entries is set to 0 no
+	label will be recognized by the kernel and mpls forwarding
+	will be disabled.
+
+	Reducing this value will remove all label routing entries that
+	no longer fit in the table.
+
+	Possible values: 0 - 1048575
+
+	Default: 0
+
+ip_ttl_propagate - BOOL
+	Control whether TTL is propagated from the IPv4/IPv6 header to
+	the MPLS header on imposing labels and propagated from the
+	MPLS header to the IPv4/IPv6 header on popping the last label.
+
+	If disabled, the MPLS transport network will appear as a
+	single hop to transit traffic.
+
+	* 0 - disabled / RFC 3443 [Short] Pipe Model
+	* 1 - enabled / RFC 3443 Uniform Model (default)
+
+default_ttl - INTEGER
+	Default TTL value to use for MPLS packets where it cannot be
+	propagated from an IP header, either because one isn't present
+	or ip_ttl_propagate has been disabled.
+
+	Possible values: 1 - 255
+
+	Default: 255
+
+conf/<interface>/input - BOOL
+	Control whether packets can be input on this interface.
+
+	If disabled, packets will be discarded without further
+	processing.
+
+	* 0 - disabled (default)
+	* not 0 - enabled
