TTL expired.....

Some days ago, while pinging some systems, I received this interesting error message: ttl expired in transit.

Now, what do you think is causing this error message?



From Microsoft Technet,

 The TTL value determines the maximum amount of time an IP packet may live in the network without reaching its destination. It is effectively a bound on the number of routers an IP packet may pass through before being discarded. This message indicates that the TTL expired in transit.
