ICMP and traceroute , How does ICMP keep a counter while it passess hops
When tracerouting a destination and going through all these hops, what
happens during this process? Does ICMP have an initial counter and
decrements this counter on each hop it passes? If the counter is initiated
to be 30, how will this work on a RIP network? RIP has knowledge only
about 15 hops and that's where it quits.
Thanks for your answers!
