Hi,

When I run traceroute thru a gre it doesn't seem to decrement the
ttl, so I get * * * for that hop. Can this be fixed?

Thanks,
Steve

you will need to define the setup and question better.

TTL is controlled by the IP stack which is unaware of which interface
it came in on and doesn't care which interface it goes out on. That includes GRE interfaces.. Is it freebsd at both ends?


BTW * * * would come from an EXTRA decrement

No response from the FreeBSD "B" box.

When I do a tcpdump on "B" of the gre interface I see UDP packets
with a TTL of 1 but no ICMP repsonse packets being sent back.

If I do the traceroute from the linux workstation 192.168.3.86 I get
similar results - I don't see a response from the FreeBSD "A" box.

Regards,
Steve
