GCIH · Question #601

Which of the following TTL values on an incoming packet allow it to be forwarded to the next router in the path?

The correct answer is C. 254. TTL was created so that packets would have a finite lifetime (up to 255 hops). Once the TTL is decremented to 0 it will no longer be passed to another router.
