Basically I'm looking for information which helps us
identify the target operating system from its TTL
field obtained while ping. The document for example
listed that if the TTL is 128 its likely to be M$ and
if its 64 its likely to be Cisco Router or switch.

Is this what you had in mind?

A google for "TTL values" brings it up first in the list.
