Understanding TTL in Networking 30/04/2023 – Posted in: Network

Time needed to read: 3 minutes In computer networking, TTL stands for Time To Live. It is a field in the IP (Internet Protocol) packet header that determines how many hops a packet can make before it is discarded. The TTL field is used to prevent packets from circulating endlessly in a network, which can cause congestion and performance issues. Each time a packet passes through a router, the TTL value is decremented by one.…
