Hello, Do the v6 recommend any default Hop Limit value? RFC 2460 does not mention anything in this respect, and the IANA IPv6 parameters page (http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-parameters) does not mention any recommended value. FWIW, the recommended value for v4 was 64 (http://www.iana.org/assignments/ip-parameters) Thanks!
