Description: The default value to be placed in the current hop limit field in router advertisements sent from this interface. The value should be set to the current diameter of the Internet.

A value of zero in the router advertisement indicates that the advertisement isn't specifying a value for curHopLimit.

The default should be set to the value specified in the IANA web pages (www.iana.org) at the time of implementation. REFERENCE RFC2461 Section 6.2.1

What is rcIpv6RouterAdvertCurHopLimit?

Sets the default hop-limit value advertised in router advertisements on this interface, normally matching the current diameter of the network; a value of zero tells receivers this router isn't specifying a hop limit. An admin adjusts this to match the actual network topology, per RFC 2461 section 6.2.1.
