Hi all,
RFC 4443 describes how to deal with an IPv6 packet with hop limit field set to 0
when a router receives it.
RFC4443, Section 3.3:
If a router receives a packet with a Hop Limit of zero, or if a
router decrements a packet's Hop Limit to zero, it MUST discard the
packet and originate an ICMPv6 Time Exceeded message with Code 0 to
the source of the packet.
I didn't find what to do for a host. Is it supposed to drop the packet or send
an ICMP6 Time Exceeded message?
Thank you for your answers,
Nicolas
