  • Scan Timer.
  • TTD.
  • Flow Label.
  • Hop Limit.
  • Hop Count.

Explanation: This field is same as Time To Live (TTL) in IPv4, which is used to stop packet to loop in the network infinitely. The value of Hop Limit field is decremented by 1 when it passes a Layer 3 device (like a router). When this field reaches 0 the packet is dropped.
