Comment(by cscott):

 When we get this patch cleaned up I'd recommend setting the default
 multicast ttl to 1, and requiring the setsockopt call only for those users
 who want it higher (which should be, practically speaking, almost no one).
 This requires us to distinguish between multicast and unicast packets when
 setting the default ttl (which I believe is already being done).
