| Question 847 |
Time To Live(TTL) field in the IP datagram is used___
| To optimize throughput | |
| To prevent packet looping | |
| To reduce delays | |
| To prioritize packets |
Question 847 Explanation:
→ Time to Live (TTL) is a limit on the period of time or transmissions in computer and computer network technology that a unit of data (e.g. a packet) can experience before it should be discarded.
→ If the limit is not defined then the packets can go into an indefinite loop.
→ The packet is discarded when the time to live field reaches 0 to prevent looping.
→ If the limit is not defined then the packets can go into an indefinite loop.
→ The packet is discarded when the time to live field reaches 0 to prevent looping.
