    No. The destination MAC will change and the router will recalculate
    the CRC, but the IP addresses do not change with normal routers.
    The IP addresses may change at security gateways ("firewalls") though.

    Oh yes, the TTL field will also decrement at each routing hop.
    Nothing else will change unless source routing or record route is
    requested, neither of which is in general use.

    What do you mean by "as additional ip address"? There's no such field
    in the IP header.

    perhaps last ip address.

    As I said, there's no such field in the IP header.

    The only way to get router IPs into the header is by using the Record
    Route IP option (or one of the source routing options, which incorporate
    route recording as well).
