Hello, Fred, > There are a number of RFCs with specific values. You might look at RFC > 2473 (64), RFC 3122 (255), and RFC 3315 (32). Neighbor Discovery wants a > hop limit of one.
(Side-tracked, but: think it wants 255, for GTSM) >each of those specifies a specific case in which the > value applies. Yes. However, I was wondering about the recommended default value for "normal" unicast traffic. > For IPv6 unicast traffic, I think it's fair to say "wider than the > network diameter". IPv4 seems to be using 64 pretty consistently for > that these days. I remember when the magic number was 16 and when it was > 32. I was expecting a recommended value in the IANA ipv6-parameters file. Not sure why it's not there. Thanks!
