So, I agree that time units are more intuitive. I would say that you
should ensure that the TTL is strictly larger than the tick duration. In the
event that it does, it should just reset to 1.5 periods IMO. I'd also be ok
with the topology failing and the user being notified by a stacktrace, an error
message, a carrier pigeon or a candygram.
