Users cannot access a webserver and after the traffic is captured, the capture tool snows an ICMP packet that reports "time exceeded in-transit". What is the cause of this webserver access issue?

Answers

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

An ICMP 'time exceeded in-transit' message indicates that the TTL (Time to Live) of a packet hasexpired. The TTL value is a counter that decreases by one each time the packet passes througha router. When the TTL reaches zero, the packet is discarded, and an ICMP 'time exceeded'message is sent back to the sender. This typically happens when the packet takes too manyhops or the destination is too far away, causing the TTL to expire before reaching thedestination.
