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.
