Rob,

Yeah the overload is a pain.  I think if we head towards making the
network layer datagram functionality become focused on assisting routing
infrastructure and less a function as an overload operation also for the
transport we would be doing the future world of networking a service.

Your idea of hop decrements based on some nominal time is a great idea.
It might be good to have an option to not implement the nominal time if
for some reason time was not the issue but just delivery?
