------- Comment #1 from jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx  2008-01-02 10:58 GMT -------
This color filter is meant to signal possible violation of this clause:
(from http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses)
"The range of addresses between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255, inclusive,
is reserved for the use of routing protocols and other low-level
topology discovery or maintenance protocols, such as gateway discovery
and group membership reporting.  Multicast routers should not forward
any multicast datagram with destination addresses in this range,
regardless of its TTL."
Other multicast addresses are perfectly routable, hence can have a TTL > 1.
Does this answer your remark?
