Remarks
This OutboundUnicastHopLimit property is the hop limit set on an outbound datagram packet sent to a unicast IP address using the DatagramSocket object. This property is used to set the Time to Live (TTL) field in an IPv4 packet header. This property is used to set the Hop Limit field in an IPv6 header. The default value for this property is 128.
This property can be set before or after the DatagramSocket is bound or connected. Before changing this value on a bound or connected DatagramSocket, any outgoing packets should first be flushed to ensure that all previously-written data is sent out with the previous hop limit.
Setting the OutboundUnicastHopLimit may not have an effect if the system doesn't support setting the TTL.
