Time to live values for IP networks.

[Larry Allen]

Sorry, Ron, but I have to disagree that you 'just pick a time to live value
that you think is reasonable'.  The Internet is growing every day; in my
opinion choosing a value out of the air is just going to lead to hard-to-find
bugs later.  I'd strongly argue for always running with
time-to-live = 255.

I'm not sure, but I think the only time TTL needs to be decremented is
when a packet passes through a gateway.
