Hi,
The TTL is decremented at (if forwarding) egress, but that is not the case
on self generated traffic - self generated packet will not be decremented.
In case of bgp "multihop" is need to create a peering on anything execpt the
directly connected address - even if those are loopback of the same two
peeds.

Hi,
Thanks a lot.If the router decrements the TTL when it forwards,in
the case of EBGP even the directly connected neighbor will not receive the
packet as the TTL is 1.So EBGP's TTL is not 1???

A router MUST generate a Time Exceeded message Code 0 (In Transit) when it
discards a packet due to an expired TTL field. A router MAY have a
per-interface option to disable origination of these messages on that
interface, but that option MUST default to allowing the messages to be
originated.
RFC 1812, page 85:
The Time-to-Live (TTL) field of the IP header is defined to be a timer
limiting the lifetime of a datagram. When a router *forwards* a packet, it
MUST reduce the TTL by at least one. If it holds a packet for more than one
second, it MAY decrement the TTL by one for each second.

So what occurs when it receives an update with TTL of two or three for
example?
Are you suggesting it decrements that once for it's own use?
What happens when it forwards this update to an onwards hop?

Ajar,
I'm pretty sure the TTL is decremented on Ingress. When a router receives a
packet with a TTL of 1, the TTL is decremented making the TTL 0 and causing
the router to send icmp time-exceeded message back.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Thanks, Tim

Egress. You can prove it easily through testing.

Hi,
let's put it in this way...a router will never forward a packet that has
been received with TTL equal to 0 or 1

GS,
Can someone let me know where does the TTL get decremented? Is it
on the ingress of the receiving router or on the egress of the sending
router.
When I configure EBGP between two routers with their loopback IP
addresses and enable 'debug ip packet',I am not seeing any packet coming
in.So I assume that the TTL is decremented on the egress interface of the
sending router.Can someone confirm.
