The udp_mcast_ttl function sets the Time to Live value for
multicast packets of an UDP socket identified with a parameter
socket. A TTL value controls the number of routers the packet
can cross before being expired. For multicast message the default TTL
value is 1. If this function is not called a default TTL value of 1
is assumed for all transmitted Multicast UDP datagrams.
The argument ttl specifies the TTL value for the UDP
socket.
The udp_mcast_ttl function is in the RL-TCPnet library. The
prototype is defined in rtl.h.
note
-
This TTL value is not used for unicast UDP
datagrams.
