We actually seem to manage to put our money where our mouth is on
this round of upstream contract renegotiations - going away from
one of our current ISPs that does TTL hiding, to one that doesn't.

(MPLS is a useful tool, and MPLS TE can actually add lots of value to an
upstream provider's offering *iff* properly managed - but I want to *see*
where my packets travel, and where they detour)
