Question

1. What is the number of the first “time to live exceeded” packet?

2. Which fields in the IP datagram change from one datagram to the next within this series of ICMP messages sent to your computer?

3. Which fields stay constant?

4. Describe the pattern you see in the Time To Live field of this sequence of packets. Considering what you can read about traceroute, and what you are seeing in the returned sequence of packets, why does this pattern exist?

Explanation / Answer

1. 915(TTL=1)

2. check sum

3. Total Length, Version, Source Address, Destination Address

4. We can see the Time to live field is in the increasing order.Each Router that comes between source and destination should reduce the value of TTL before sending to the next Router. When an ICMP TTL exceeded message is sent by a router, the original sender will come to know the address of the router.
