Dear Muhammad,
TTL means Time-To-Live, it indicates the age of a packets.
For logical analogy, it's like our age, each birthday we had
will count less to our longevity :(
So normally packets are given TTL to prevent packects from
circulating endlessly in internetworks. TTL decremented from
its default 64 by one each time it visited a hop. So a packet
should die if it has reached 64 hops.
Hope it helps.
