Looking at the default TTL's for various protocols (which can be found
in /usr/include/netinet/*.h) I find the following:
protocol RT VAX file (in /usr/include/netinet)
RVD 30 30 rvdconst.h
TCP 30 255 tcp.h
UDP 30 30 udp_var.h
I would recommend making them all be 255 (MAXTTL). 30 isn't going to
be good enough very soon ...
