Hi group,
I was wondering is option

options         IPSTEALTH

not in the GENERIC on purpose.
On some routers it's not possible to compile kernels, and you have to
compile it before/after you got the router installed.

Just wondering...

Without knowing the exact number, I am sure not decrementing the
TTL violates at least one RFC. Imagine some datacenter with lots
of FreeBSD installations and IPSTEALTH part of GENERIC.
Ideally they do their routing via FreeBSD/netgraph too.

Packets won't die, especially if they have a loop somewhere.
