What Pete describes is how I understand TTL to mean also. I see that pinging that site from my location in Redding, CA shows 11 hops. If I were in China or Germany, there is a chance that site would be unavailable to me because as the ping shows, TTL is set to 53: PING jenipurr.com (216.92.165.105) from 64.163.109.75 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 216.92.165.105: icmp_seq=0 ttl=53 time=106.1 ms 64 bytes from 216.92.165.105: icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=105.0 ms 64 bytes from 216.92.165.105: icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=108.1 ms 64 bytes from 216.92.165.105: icmp_seq=3 ttl=53 time=105.5 ms --- jenipurr.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 105.0/106.1/108.1 ms
