[e2e] random early time-to-die

[Jonathan M. Smith]

Let's say I change my TTL in response to packet death. Then I am responding to
a signal about the "cost" of traversing the network, as indicated by the 
probablistic
"charging" mechanism, no? From the client perspective, this might look like 
Williamson's
"Loss-load curves".
