This might be platform dependent. On Linux, look at ‘man 7 ip’ and
IP_TTL. In Ruby, you would do the same thing, call the #setsockopt
method on your socket.
In Ruby:
irb(main):001:0> require ‘socket’
=> true
irb(main):002:0> s = UDPSocket.new
=> #UDPSocket:0xb7b86a54
irb(main):004:0> s.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_IP, Socket::IP_TTL)
=> “@\000\000\000”
irb(main):005:0> s.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_IP,
Socket::IP_TTL).unpack(“L”)
=> [64]
irb(main):006:0> s.setsockopt(Socket::SOL_IP, Socket::IP_TTL,
[128].pack(“L”))
=> 0
irb(main):007:0> s.getsockopt(Socket::SOL_IP,
Socket::IP_TTL).unpack(“L”)
=> [128]
To check if a given argument to #getsockopt is supported on your
platform, you can look at the constants defined with Socket.constants.
Hope this help,
