Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 50

Which adverse circumstance can the TTL feature prevent?

Answer options

• A. routing loops
• B. DoS attacks
• C. link saturation
• D. CAM table overload B

Correct answer:

Explanation

The TTL (Time to Live) feature is designed to prevent routing loops by limiting the lifespan of data packets in a network. While it can indirectly help mitigate issues like DoS attacks and link saturation by ensuring packets do not loop indefinitely, its primary function is to prevent routing loops. The other options do not directly relate to the primary purpose of the TTL feature.
