Ability to adjust TTL to more than 1

[neocharles]

If you are attempting to test multicast between VLANs, you may need a TTL higher than 1 in order for the router to still route the packet from one VLAN to another.

The console output shows the ttl is 128, however in wireshark we can see that the TTL is 1.

Good spot, sounds like the code may need to explicitly set SocketOptionName properties IpTimeToLive and MulticastTimeToLive. Do you see a use-case for either or both to have configurable TTLs?

UdpClient.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.IP, SocketOptionName.MulticastTimeToLive, 64)

Hi. Yes please allow configurable TTL. Testing across VLANS fails since with a TTL of 1 the switch decrements it and it fails to reach the client. This makes the tool valuable for only testing within the same subnet. Overall fantastic tool though. Thanks.

+1 having the option to increase the TTL would be a very helpful feature!

ttl would be nice, i thought it was set higher than one so that assumption hurt me and now im not sure if a device, virtual layer or protocol is properly setup.
