Re: IP over SONET considered harmful?

I consider Windows 95 to be the least common denominator, which has a default IP TTL of 32. Yes, 32. So that implies that each NSP should decrement no less than 8 TTLs.

That's broken. I quote from RFC 1340, dated July 1992: The current recommended default time to live (TTL) for the Internet Protocol (IP) [45,105] is 64. This does not change reality, of course, but it also does not make it less broken. - Håvard
