The following reply was made to PR bin/170279; it has been noted by GNATS. From: John Baldwin <jhb@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, johnpoz@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/170279: dhclient(8) uses low TTL of 16 Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:04:22 -0400 FWIW, OpenBSD's version still fixes the TTL at 16. The ISC dhcp client uses a ttl of 128. Looking online it seems other clients also use 128, e.g. Microsoft's: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&ved=0CF8QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fkb%2F169289&ei=q0J1UfyvLcHD0QGr2YCoCA&usg=AFQjCNHVHJavHlqkEPoA4LIc16FOJPZy4w&bvm=bv.45512109,d.dmQ Given that, changing the default TTL to 128 seems fine. -- John Baldwin
