PPR Basic Test Topology
The FRR PPR implementation for IS-IS is available here: https://github.com/opensourcerouting/frr/tree/isisd-ppr
In this topology we have an IS-IS network consisting of 12 routers. CE1 and CE2 are the consumer edges, connected to R11 and R14, respectively. Three hosts are connected to the CEs using only static routes.
Router R11 advertises 6 PPR TLVs, which corresponds to three bi-directional GRE tunnels:
- 6000:1::1 <-> 6000:2::1: {R11 - R21 - R22 - R23 - R14} (IPv6 Node Addresses only)
- 6000:1::2 <-> 6000:2::2: {R11 - R21 - R32 - R41 - R33 - R23 - R14} (IPv6 Node and Interface addresses)
- 6000:1::3 <-> 6000:2::3: {R11 - R21 - R99 - R23 - R14} (misconfigured path)
PBR rules are configured on R11 and R14 to route the traffic between Host 1 and Host 3 using the first PPR tunnel. Traffic between Host 2 and Host 3 uses the regular IS-IS shortest path.

On Router R11, use the traceroute tool to ensure that the PPR paths were installed correctly in the network:
root@rt11:~# traceroute 6000:2::1
traceroute to 6000:2::1 (6000:2::1), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets

The failure on the third traceroute is expected since the 6000:2::3 PPR-ID is misconfigured.
Now ping Host 3 from Host 1 and use iproute2/wireshark to verify that the ICMP packets are being tunneled using GRE and following the {R11 - R21 - R22 - R23 - R14} path. Here's a wireshark capture between R11 and R21:
Using traceroute it's also possible to see that the ICMP packets are being tunneled through the IS-IS network:
root@host1:~# traceroute fd00:20:1::1 -s fd00:10:1::1
traceroute to fd00:20:1::1 (fd00:20:1::1), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets
