Consumer CPEs are typically some BCM reference design where initial TCP
handshake is handled by linux kernel and everything following (including
NAT) is handled in SOC.
I've seen those systems not decrement TTL at all, decrement TTL before
checking if packet is destined to itself etc. This case is weird as
typically the hardware part is faulty, not the kernel.
