What is the meaning of this?

Recommended Posts

TTL is short for "Time to Live" which is one of the fields in IP - it specifies how many hops a packet can travel before being discarded or returned.

Basically it means that if you're seeing this message, then either the TTL value you have set is too low (unlikely, I think Windows defaults to a TTL value of 128?) or there are problems with the network and the route the packets are taking is very long and tortuous.

The cause of the problem depends on whether you're trying to ping a LAN/WAN address or whether you're trying to ping an Internet address.

 

Hope this helps,
