I lab-ed this, and did not observe the TTL incrementing even when the delay was over 8,000 ms. (It's not how fast you send the packets, but how slow you make the link!)

I agree that anything more than 1000ms of delay seems outrageous for a single hop these days, but I don't know of anything that has changed that "rule" that both you and I describe. Mike W.
