Gen_udp does not currently provide a way to do this. You would need to modify the inet layer below it to allow for this new functionality. It would not be difficult to do so, if you look at the other options they allow setting, like multicast_ttl and you can probably implement a gen_udp:send,recv and open that allow for this suppoert.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
