[streaming] VLS: TTL and lost packets during multicast

[montez]

Hi Anil,

We altered the code and we had success in changing the ttl value in Windows.

You must change the netoutput.cpp file in src\modules\netchannel directory.

Include the lines below:

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#define IP_MULTICAST_TTL 10
#endif

And remove the clausule
#ifndef _WIN32

in method C_NetOutput::OnInit()

I hope it helps you
