  1. Which one of the following fields of an IP header is NOT modified by a typical IP router?
    1. Checksum
    2. Source address
    3. Time To Live (TTL)
    4. Length
Correct Option: B

Option (a), (Checksum) needs to be reorganized by each visited Router since Time to Live value is customized. Option (b), (Source Address) can't be customized by an IP router. Only NAT (Network Address Translation) can transform it. Option (c), (TTL) is decremented by each visited router. When it arrives at to zero, then packet will be rejected.
