forget it i got it............

well tell me ..i'm wondering .. :disgust

ping is that hella fly golf gear....

Congrats, you are h4x0r now.

TTL Expired in Transit: Most computers today initialize the TTL value of outgoing IP Packets 128 or higher. If you ever see a reply above with a "TTL=5" (or some other low TTL number) this tells you that the computer being pinged should most likely have its default TTL value increased. Otherwise, anyone trying to communicate with the computer that is at a hop count higher than the TTL will not be able to communicate with the computer. For example, if you are 40 hops away from www.xyz.com, and www.xyz.com sets TTL fields in IP packets that it sends out to 32, the IP Packets will not reach you. They will 'expire in transmit' before they reach you.

time to live
it means the time expired that it allows before the ip responds

You'll usually see that when there is no route to a particular host, a traceroute will just keep bouncing back and forth.

Hard to believe you all are in this biz.....

Next topic will be trace route

This is pretty sad lol. Perhaps I should go do a tutorial on how to construct packets in C for UNIX for you all :)

FYI: Stevens TCP/IP is a great book

:thumbsup

:pimp

ttl = time to live.

so max time to get an anwser exceeded :)

BZZT. Not quite, it has nothing to do with time, and nothing to do with getting an answer.

It's the number of hops (between routers) an IP packet is allowed to go towards the destination before being dropped. TTL is set to something, typically 128, but whatever. Each router which sees this packet decrements the TTL counter by 1. If a router ever sees an IP packet with its TTL set to zero, it drops the packet (and sends a ICMP TTL exceeded response back to the source of that IP packet).

LOL ok I clicked on xyz.com
