Description: The remaining length of time, in seconds, that this router will continue to be useful as a default router. A value of zero indicates that it is no longer useful as a default router. It is left to the implementer of the MIB as to whether a router with a lifetime of zero is removed from the list.

For IPv6, this value should be extracted from the router advertisement messages.

What is ipDefaultRouterLifetime?

The remaining time, in seconds, that this router will continue to be usable as a default router; zero means it should no longer be treated as one. For IPv6 this value comes from the router's advertisement messages.
