Remarks

This value indicates the hop limit that is set on an outbound TCP packet sent to a unicast IP address using the StreamSocket object. This property is used to set the Time to Live (TTL) field in an IPv4 packet header. This property is used to set the Hop Limit field in an IPv6 header. The default value for this property is 128.

This property may be set before the StreamSocket is connected. After the StreamSocket is connected, setting this property will result in an error.

Setting the OutboundUnicastHopLimit may not have an effect if the system doesn't support setting the TTL.
