📘MikroTik MTCRE - TTL (Time-To-Live), what it is and how to change it.

[@rayvenbacinillo8660]

Another good content from the one and only The Netwrork Berg. Keep doing stuff like this brother. ✌️

a small note about traceroute as a practical usage of TTL is missing in this video!

[@demystifyingnetworking]

TTL is one of the most mis-understood concept in networking, I have tried to answer all the questions below about TTL. How TTL works? When exactly TTL is decremented? TTL decremented at ingress or egress? When packet is dropped?

Reference Material: help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Mangle NB!!! Do not randomly change TTL unless there is a very specific reason why you want to do it. As seen in the video haphazardly just adding a rule to change the TTL value can potentially result in connectivity issues. Only use TTL for specific use cases or if a hop count seems to exceed the default value on ROS. You are required to understand how TTL functions and how to possibly change it for the MTCRE, but I strongly encourage to leave TTL values alone as much as possible :)

Keep on master 😍

interesting stuff. Thanks

super useful

Nice video dankie !

No mention that this can be used to trick cell operators into thinking you are not tethering

How to stop sharing internet connection in mikrotik? suppose if you have capsman?

[@berry9312]

use simple queue

[@gintarasp2]

That could have been usefull leson after SPANNING TREE. Are you going to do that as well?

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Hello, I will consider doing a MikroTik switching series at a later stage or cover STP on its own. The MTCRE focuses only on the routing aspects of ROS and unfortunately does not cover STP.

how to solve ttl transit error?

[@TheNetworkBerg]

Depends for the reason of the error, usually it is because the TTL gets expired because of a routing loop. So I would probably start by doing a traceroute to the destination and seeing where the traces loops and then look between those two devices if there is anything strange occurring.
