traceroute is really an example of 'packet expired, send
unreachable'... that, today is basically:
  o grab 64bytes of header (or something similar)
  o shove that in a payload
  o use the src as the dst
  o stick my src on
  o set icmp
  o crc and fire

there's not really any need to do this in the slow path, is there?
