Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently I can't find a way to set ttl to 255 when my routers are a single network hop away without enabling multihop. The packets get dropped by the routers because the ttl is one. Enabling multihop changes the ttl but shouldn't be needed in this situation.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a field that allows setting ttl on advertised routes.
