Hrmmm, would the GTSM work with loopback peering? ISTR it allowed a
TTL of 254, which should make it to the loopback interface.
Only flawed implementations have to use TTL of 254 when you have a
session between two adjacent loopbacks. But I think those still
exist...
(TTL should only be decremented when _forwarding_, and I don't think
you could argue that you need to _forward_ a packet from your ingress
interface to your _loopback_ interface..)
Well, if that were the case, then you wouldn't need multi-hop to do
loopback peering.
