Why do you need an accurate TTL value in the SDP anyhow? This information
is not much use for the RTSP client. In my opinion, it's a protocol design
bug.

In fact, may I suggest we remove support for custom IPv6 hop limit, and
simplify IPv4 Time-To-Live to a single boolean option (1 or 255) across
VLC?
