Stands for Time To Live. Pretty intense for a computer term, huh? It refers an aspect of the Internet Protocol. TTL is used when a ping, or a request for a response, is sent to another computer, such as a server. The TTL represents the number of hops, or servers in different locations, the request can travel to before returning a failed attempt message.
