To paraphrase the below-referenced PR: This logic originated in the KAME project, and was even controversial when it was enabled there by default in 2001. No such equivalent logic exists in the IPv4 stack, and it turns out that this leads to us dropping valid traffic when the "point to point" interface is actually a 1:many tun interface, e.g. with the wireguard userland stack. Even in the case of true point-to-point links, this logic only avoids transient looping of packets sent by misconfigured applications or attackers, which can be subverted by proper route configuration rather than hardcoded logic in the kernel to drop packets. In the review, melifaro goes on to note that the kernel can't fix it, so it perhaps shouldn't try to be 'smart' about it. Additionally, that TTL will still kick in even with incorrect route configuration.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
