I  think  GTTP  adds  the  following  functions  that  are  not  present  in
draft-bonica-icmp-mpls: 

- the ability to discover and  trace through nested tunnels, even if the TTL
  is not percolated through the stack;

- the ability to trace through a  nested tunnel even if interior LSRs of the
  tunnel have no route to the management station. 

Do you think these functions offer practical benefits?
