PING question
Usually I get TTL=51 but today is says "expired in transit". Website is down. Besides the obvious that the packets expired....technically speaking, what does it mean?

It might be caused by a routing loop, causing the packets to 'run around in circles' (send from router to router and end up at the same router) until they die... -

most likely split horizon problem or holddown timer perhaps? Used to prevent these loops from happeningCheating - the act of swindling by some fraudulent scheme ' that book is a fraud ' -

because you get around split horizon with the ping command. Im thinking maybe its routing loop, or just because the page is down, it searches or "pings" . And since there is no holddown or anything prevent it it will continue to go. Thats just my 2 centsI am going for broke, and i love every minute of it.
