---------------------------------------------------------
Class {{DatagramChannel}} has the ability to set {{IP_MULTICAST_TTL}} as an option.
Investigate whether we can use a {{DatagramChannel}} instead of a {{DatagramSocket}}.
Perhaps we can create a {{DatagramChannel}}, but then call {{DatagramChannel.socket()}} to
simply use the underlying {{DatagramSocket}} instead.
Example:
{code}
DatagramChannel ch=DatagramChannel.open();
ch.setOption(StandardSocketOptions.IP_MULICAST_TTL, 8); // sets TTL to 8
DatagramSocket sock=ch.socket()
// use sock
{code}

UDP.ip_ttl is ignored and is always 1

Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Bela Ban
Assignee: Bela Ban
Fix For: 3.6
Since we switched from using a {{MulticastSocket}} for sending of multicast packets to a
{{DatagramSocket}}, the time-to-live (TTL) of a packet is always {{1}}. The reason is that
method {{setTimeToLive()}} only exists in {{MulticastSocket}}, but not in
{{DatagramSocket}}.
We cannot revert the code and use a {{MulticastSocket}} to send multicasts, as this
won't reveal the real IP address of the sender, but only the multicast address, and
the real address is needed to drop packets at the _transport level_.
Investigate whether we could use reflection to get the {{DatagramSocketImpl}} and call
{{setTimeToLive()}}.
