You are using a Windows-based sniffer named ASniffer to record the data traffic of a network. You have extracted the following IP Header information of a randomly chosen packet from the sniffer's log:

45 00 00 28 00 00 40 00 29 06 43 CB D2 D3 82 5A 3B 5E AA 72 Which of the following TTL decimal values and protocols are being carried by the IP Header of this packet?

Question

You are using a Windows-based sniffer named ASniffer to record the data traffic of a network. You have extracted the following IP Header information of a randomly chosen packet from the sniffer's log:

45 00 00 28 00 00 40 00 29 06 43 CB D2 D3 82 5A 3B 5E AA 72 Which of the following TTL decimal values and protocols are being carried by the IP Header of this packet?

Accepted Answer

C. 41, TCP In the IPv4 header, byte offset 8 (0-indexed) holds the TTL field: 0x29 hexadecimal converts to 41 decimal. Byte offset 9 holds the Protocol field: 0x06 maps to TCP per IANA protocol numbers. Both values together uniquely identify answer C as correct.

Answer

A. 41, UDP Protocol 0x06 is TCP, not UDP (UDP is protocol 0x11/17 decimal), so the protocol portion of this choice is incorrect.

Answer

B. 16, ICMP TTL 0x29 is 41, not 16, and ICMP is protocol 0x01, neither of which match the header values extracted.

Answer

D. 16, UDP TTL 0x29 decodes to 41, not 16, and the protocol byte 0x06 represents TCP, not UDP, making both fields in this choice incorrect.
