Sorry if it's off topic but..

Anyone have issues with the multicast beacon client not respecting TTL on outbound packets? According to the docs, I believe there should be a default TTL of 127. This doesn't seem to be the case, and using -ttl 127 on the command line didn't help either.

Redhat 7.3

cd /usr/local/beaconclient; /usr/java/bin/java Beacon -group 233.2.171.1 -port 56464 -server beaconserver.accessgrid.org -serverport 9997 -name WiscNet_Madison -ttl 127
