Cisco CCNP and CCIE Study Notes

Consider two routers connected back-to-back with each other with the following configuration

Router 1

interface Loopback1
 ip address 11.11.11.11 255.255.255.255
!
interface Ethernet0
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
 no keepalive
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.2

Router 2

interface Ethernet0
 ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
 no keepalive
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.1

There are no other routers in the network. If the following command

Router1#ping 33.33.33.33 source 11.11.11.11 repeat 1

were to be issued on Router1, how may times would the ICMP echo request packet bounce between the pair of routers before being dropped?
