当我运行时ping google.com
,我得到ttl
的值是55
:
64 bytes from 173.194.127.103: icmp_seq=68 ttl=55 time=16.4 ms
当我运行时dig google.com @ns1.google.com.
,它得到TTL
的值是300
。
google.com. 300 IN A 173.194.127.34
为什么我得到两个不同的值TTL
,以及哪一个值在什么情况下是相关的?
答案1
TTL
与 DNS 相比,with具有ping
完全不同的含义。
对于 DNS,它表示记录在被认为太旧之前可以缓存多长时间。 的值表示ping
数据包在被丢弃之前可以在不同的网络上进行多少次跳转。到达目标路径上的每一次跳转都会将此值减 1,如果跳转次数过多,数据包将被丢弃。这是为了防止在配置错误的情况下数据包永无止境的循环。
我也同意,像谷歌这样的庞然大物必须竭尽全力并使用一切可用的技巧才能尽快给出答复,这不是研究此事的好例子。

TTL DETAILS
The TTL value of an IP packet represents the maximum number of IP
routers that the packet can go through before being thrown away. In
current practice you can expect each router in the Internet to decre-
ment the TTL field by exactly one.
The TCP/IP specification states that the TTL field for TCP packets
should be set to 60, but many systems use smaller values (4.3 BSD uses
30, 4.2 used 15).
The maximum possible value of this field is 255, and most Unix systems
set the TTL field of ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to 255. This is why you
will find you can ‘‘ping’’ some hosts, but not reach them with tel-
net(1) or ftp(1).
In normal operation ping prints the ttl value from the packet it
receives. When a remote system receives a ping packet, it can do one
of three things with the TTL field in its response:
· Not change it; this is what Berkeley Unix systems did before the
4.3BSD Tahoe release. In this case the TTL value in the received
packet will be 255 minus the number of routers in the round-trip
path.
· Set it to 255; this is what current Berkeley Unix systems do. In
this case the TTL value in the received packet will be 255 minus the
number of routers in the path from the remote system to the pinging
host.
· Set it to some other value. Some machines use the same value for ICMP
packets that they use for TCP packets, for example either 30 or 60.
Others may use completely wild values.
