Filtering packets by TTL would be useful, therefore it is currently not
supported.

Another thing that is not supported, a simple match criteria where you
specify the offset into the packet, the size of the word (8, 16, and 32
bit would be plenty fine), and the value you want to match. This would be
too useful in filtering DoS, so of course it can't be done.
