This read-create integer sets the SEND_TTL value used in RSVP messages this node originates on this interface, with a value of zero meaning the node should determine the TTL by other means instead. It affects how many router hops an RSVP message can traverse before being discarded, which matters for RSVP sessions spanning multiple routed hops rather than a single link. An administrator troubleshooting RSVP messages being dropped before reaching a distant receiver might raise csRsvpIfTTL from its default to ensure messages survive the full path.
