-	This option instructs the udp sender to set the time to live to
-	\"num\" for the sending udp socket. Only useful for multicast
-	udp streaming.
+	This option applies exclusively to multicast UDPv4/v6 streaming.
+
+	For the sending UDPv4 socket it sets the multicast Time-To-Live
+	value to \"num\".  Traditional TTL scope values are: 0=host,
+	1=network, 32=same site, 64=same region, 128=same continent,
+	255=unrestricted. Please note however that this scoping is not
+	a good solution: RFC 2365 e.g. presents a better alternative.
+
+	When using UDPv6 multicasting, the option sets the number of
+	multicast hops (as described in RFC 3493); a value of -1
+	allows the kernel to auto-select the hop value.
