      The javadoc for setTimeToLive method for MulticastSocket says: The
           TTL sets the IP time-to-live for DatagramPackets sent to a MulticastGroup,
      when it should realy say "TTL sets the IP multicast time-to-live ..."

      Since there are two IP level socket options, one is called IP_TTL, the other is called IP_MULTICAST_TTL, we should make it unambigueous what we mean.
