Hi all,

I have a problem regarding the way ns-2 handles the TTL field:

Please consider the following topology (TCP/Reno):

   Sender-----Node 1------Node 2------Sink.

Intuitively, an initial TTL of 3 should be sufficient. However, ns
requires TTL set to 4, otherwise the packet will be dropped at the Sink.

In real world - I assume - a TTL=3 should work.

Is this an inconsistency betweek ns/realworld, or am I wrong about my
"real world" assumption?

TIA
 Sebastian
