When using ffmpeg to start a local-only server (i.e. setting ttl=0)
using multicast ip (i.e. 224.1.1.1) you can see packets going to
network.
Bug is due to kernel handling multicast ttl 0 differently (as noted in
kernel code net/ipv4/route.c:2191 see:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/net/ipv4/route.c )
/* Special hack: user can direct multicasts
and limited broadcast via necessary interface
without fiddling with IP_MULTICAST_IF or IP_PKTINFO.
This hack is not just for fun, it allows
vic,vat and friends to work.
They bind socket to loopback, set ttl to zero
and expect that it will work.
From the viewpoint of routing cache they are broken,
because we are not allowed to build multicast path
with loopback source addr (look, routing cache
cannot know, that ttl is zero, so that packet
will not leave this host and route is valid).
Luckily, this hack is good workaround.
