We have received a complaint from InnovaHosting about them being hit by
about 150 ICMP `ttl1` packets/s on their routers, causing excess CPU usage.

By using `tcpdump` I have identified that `mtr` by default pings the
target 10 times, which means that the default value of `-c`/`--report-cycles`
is 10, although this is not documented in the manual.
We can see this when calling `mtr github.com` and watching with `tcpdump`:
```
> sudo tcpdump -v -i eno1 icmp and src 185.181.230.78 and dst github.com | grep 'ttl 1,'
tcpdump: listening on eno1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), snapshot length 262144 bytes
19:54:53.981243 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 1, id 37119, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 64)
...(8 packets omitted)...
19:55:03.025460 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 1, id 38226, offset 0, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 64)
```
We don't need to run the test 10 times to get a result for our metric.
