This is an answer to a very old email question, so my apologies
if it has already been answered...

Yes you are right, the TTL field of the received packet is not
currently passed up the protocol stack to the transport protocol or
application.  One suggestion that has been made is that we could use
mtrace ("ftp://ftp.isi.edu/mbone/mtrace.tar.Z") to discover the number
of hops between a source and a receiver.  It would not be a very pretty
solution, and we have not looked into exactly what kind of additional
complexity this would introduce.
