The ttl (time to live) is hops or routes, not seconds, so a ttl of 121 has that many hops before the packet is discarded.
Not necessarily. It could be 121 seconds - if one of the routers is waiting for fragments of a fragmented packet for more than one second, the TTL is being count down in seconds. In your case the router would discard the packet after 121 seconds and reply with a ICMP ttl-zero-during-reassembly. Bjoern
