In DNS, the TTL of a resource record is an unsigned 32-bit int with a maximum value of 2^31-1 (ie a in a query, TTLs are the 31 less significant bits of the 32-bit field).
And this is because... RFC 1035 is not clear on that topic (section 2.3.4 says "signed 32 bit", section 3.2.1 says "32 bit signed" but then sect 3.3.13 says that the MINIMUM in SOA RR is "unsigned 32 bit minimum TTL" and section 4.1.3 which describes RR format says 32 bit unsigned)
The current definition comes from RFC 2181 section 8
