Subject: Re: Routing loops & TTL tracking with tunnel devices

Hi Sowmini,

Neat. Though, in my case, I'm not actually just prepending a header.
I'm doing some more substantial transformations of a packet. And this
needs to work with v4 too. So I'm not sure implementing a v6 spec will
help with things. I need to identify the right mechanism inside the
kernel to assist with this, like, say, a member in sk_buff.
