setMulticastTTL
Sets the IP_MULTICAST_TTL
socket option. While TTL generally stands for "Time to Live", in this context it specifies the number of IP hops that a packet is allowed to travel through, specifically for multicast traffic. Each router or gateway that forwards a packet decrements the TTL. If the TTL is decremented to 0 by a router, it will not be forwarded.
The ttl
argument may be between 0 and 255\. The default on most systems is 1
.
This method throws EBADF
if called on an unbound socket.
