Hi, I want to build a program to tunnel multicast
packets through unicast channel. One big problem
is that the MulticastSocket class cannot be set
to disable LoopBack, so every packet sent is
received by the sender and then send back to the
channel.

I have to stuff some Id byte into each packet to
avoid the loopback thing, is there any method that
you can provide to do that? You do have setTTL
method, and I donnot want to use JNI to implement
this trifle feature.
