I'm have a problem setting TTL when sending Multicast packets to an IPv4 address over an IPv6 socket.
Setting the TTL in Java has no effect when sending to an IPv4 address. It is always 1. This is only a problem on Linux, it works fine on OS X, Solaris and Windows. This problem exists with JDK5, but it looks like it's also in the JDK7 code. https://openjdk.dev.java.net/source/browse/openjdk/jdk/trunk/j2se/src/solaris/native/java/net/PlainDatagramSocketImpl.c?annotate=237 on line 1873 IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS is set for Linux I think we need also need to set IP_MULTICAST_TTL I've attached sample Java and C code that demonstrates the problem here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/112257 Any thoughts if this is a Java problem or a Linux kernel bug?
