Thanks

Does this confirm that there are reverse paths?

the other possibility is broken forwarding in the LSP from the
destination back to the source.

"normal" traffic may be able to pop out of the tunnel and then be routed
hop-by-hop, whilst VPN traffic of course will be discarded as the
destination IPs are unknown at the core LSRs.

I have seen this in the past with TDP LSPs.

In fact the first thing to check is that there are LSPs in the reverse
direction ;-)
