| Description | Control the life-time of a datagram in the network for multicast packets
in order to indicates the scope of the multicasts (ie how far the packet
will travel).
The TTL value must be in range of 0 to 255 inclusive. The larger the number, the farther the multicast packets will travel (by convention): The default value is 1, meaning that the datagram will not go beyond the local subnet.0 -> restricted to the same host 1 -> restricted to the same subnet (default) <32 -> restricted to the same site <64 -> restricted to the same region <128 -> restricted to the same continent <255 -> no restriction
