Change the TTL in what manner?
</div>


<div>
Since a lot of the IOT devices are being hacked and utilized for other purposes, I though that I could possibly change the TTL to one so that the packet from the IOT device would die at the first router it encountered.

I've never heard of a way to set the TTL on a router.<br />
A much more simple approach is to not provide a default gateway at such devices.

I was hoping for additional comments or recommendations as to how to limit a data packet's TTL.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
