Configuring Data Packet Time-to-Live
The Time-to-Live (TTL) value configures a finite life for data packets sent by the codec. This avoids
situations where packets keep circulating through routers and cause network congestion.
The Time-to-Live setting is configurable and sets the maximum number of router hops allowable for
multicast data packets. In most situations the default value of
1
is used, to ensure packets are sent
through a single LAN router and not over multiple router hops and networks.
This setting is only used in
Multicast Server
mode.
