Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

The Hop Limit field in the IPv6 header is similar to the Time to Live (TTL) field in the IPv4 header. It specifies the maximum number of hops (routers) that a packet can traverse before reaching its destination.
Each router that receives the packet decrements the Hop Limit field by one and forwards the packet. If the Hop Limit field reaches zero, the packet is discarded and an ICMPv6 error message is sent back to the source. This mechanism prevents packets from loopingindefinitely in the network12 References: 1: IPv6 packet - Wikipedia 2: IP Time to Live (TTL) and Hop Limit Basics - Packet Pushers
