8 | A local route may have a lower hop_limit set than global routes do. | ||
9 | |||
10 | RFC 3756, Section 4.2.7, "Parameter Spoofing" | ||
11 | |||
12 | > 1. The attacker includes a Current Hop Limit of one or another small | ||
13 | > number which the attacker knows will cause legitimate packets to | ||
14 | > be dropped before they reach their destination. | ||
15 | |||
16 | > As an example, one possible approach to mitigate this threat is to | ||
17 | > ignore very small hop limits. The nodes could implement a | ||
18 | > configurable minimum hop limit, and ignore attempts to set it below | ||
19 | > said limit. | ||
