    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.
