How can you limit count-to-infinity problems by defining a maximum?
What will be an ideal response?
Defining a maximum is one of the easiest ways to limit count-to-infinity problems. If you assign a packet a maximum hop count, it cannot bounce infinitely around the internetwork. RIP, one of the most common distance-vector protocols, defines a maximum hop count of 15. Therefore, if a routing loop did occur on a RIP internetwork, the packet would only travel through 15 routers before the packet exceeded its TTL and was dropped. In other words, the 16th router that the packet tried to cross on a RIP internetwork would see that the packet had exceeded its TTL and would drop the packet.
