Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: lartc@vger.kernel.org hi, I was wondering can I inpect in some easy way what is the current TTL value of a packet i.e. say I have the following config : comp1 -----> router ---> router2 ----> myMacine ---> router ---> internet comp2 ---------------------------| etc.... Now the user at the computer1 or comp2 is browsing or pinging and I want to know/inpect what is the value of TTL on all his packets w/o ever going to manualy ping from its computer.... Does all OSes use same start TTL value or different on different protocols or connection ? After I see his TTL i would add iptable rule to do some things based on this, so i want to be sure it is a constant value ? thanx in advance raptor _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
