Wouldn't this whole list go away if:

a) MSDP could be configured for a minimum TTL required before sending an SA
b) these services used an appropriate TTL (like 16)

I know that in the UNIX kernel's multicast forwarding implementation,
(a) is hard. I don't know if it's also hard in real routers, but it
would make this issue a lot easier to deal with.
