The router would stop fowarding the packet when the value in the TTL field reaches zero.
When a router receives a traceroute packet, the value in the TTL field is decremented by 1. When the value in the field reaches zero, the receiving router will not forward the packet, and will send an ICMP Time Exceeded message back to the source.
What is a router?
Routers route and route network data, using packets that contain various types of data, such as files and communications, and simple transmissions, such as web interactions.
Data packets have several layers or sections, one of which contains identifying information such as sender, data type, size, and most importantly, the destination IP address (Internet Protocol). The router reads this layer, prioritizes the data, and chooses the best route to use for each transmission.
