On a pure MPLS network that is correct. If the LSR is A--->B--->C, then thats how the packet is enrouted. However there is a lower layer VLAN like tunnel that is setup for policy purposes or so then you may have redirections but at the MPLS level they won't be seen. Hope it helps... SG --- "Arun M.
