+ The ttl field is set to 1 , and the packet is sent . The packet dies at hop 1. A reply arrives with source addr set to hop1 to conveys that the packet is dead.
+ The ttl field is set to 2 , the packet moves to hop1 and then to hop2 and dies, and reply from hop2 returns. We now get the address of hop2
