Good question! It matters because a little over two decades ago we had
some angst as equipment configured to emit a TTL of 32 stopped being
able to reach everybody. Today we have a lot of equipment configured
to emit a TTL of 64. It's the default in Linux, for example. Are we
getting close to the limit where that will cause problems? How close?
