Configuring Data Packet Time-to-Live

Time-to-Live (TTL) is a value you can configure into the codec to set a finite life for data packets sent by the codec. This avoids situations where packets can keep circulating through routers causing 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.
