ttl

y am i getting two different output for tracert and ping.

Ping Result showing total hops of 20 and tracert showing 8.

default ttl value on my linux machine 64,icmp echo reply ttl value 44.

64-44=20

but tracert is showing only 8 hops.

What can be the reason?

If tracert is implemented using ttl then why am i getting different values for same domain.no matter how many times i tried.

Fo google and google services,ttl value and tracrt are same,but for other domains its different.
