According to man 7 ip: IP_RECVTTL When this flag is set pass a IP_RECVTTL control message with the time to live field of the received packet as a byte. Not supported for SOCK_STREAM sockets.
This is not what happens. Instead of control message with type IP_RECVTTL (12) I get message with type IP_TTL (2). What makes it more complicated is that in FreeBSD (AFAIK othere OSes don't have it) control message has type IP_RECVTTL. Bug in man page? Or in kernel? -- Hasso Tepper Elion Enterprises Ltd.
