Question: An end-host, A, sends a UDP packet across the Internet to a destination, B. An intermediate IP router, R, detects a problem in the packet
An end-host, A, sends a UDP packet across the Internet to a destination, B. An intermediate IP router, R, detects a problem in the packet (the TTL field reaching a value of 0).

Provide reasonable sketches of the following packets, while highlighting all relevant field values in the IP, UDP and ICMP headers involved:
- The original packet transmitted from A to B
