> Can I please get a review of this change which proposes to remove the deprecated-for-removal methods from `MulticastSocket` and `DatagramSocketImpl`? 
> 
> The following methods on `java.net.MulticastSocket` and `java.net.DatagramSocketImpl`:
> 
> 
> public void setTTL(byte ttl) throws IOException
> public byte getTTL() throws IOException
> 
> 
> and this other one on `MulticastSocket`:
> 
> 
> public void send(DatagramPacket p, byte ttl) throws IOException 
> 
> 
> have been deprecated for removal since Java 23, through https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8332181. Even before that they have been deprecated since Java 1.2 and Java 1.4.
> 
> The commit in this PR removes them completely. This PR also removes some tests that were specifically testing the `setTTL()/getTTL()/send(DatagramPacket, byte)` methods. A few other tests have been adjusted to use the alternate `getTimeToLive()/setTimeToLive()` methods where appropriate.
> 
> Existing tests in tier1, tier2 and tier3 continue to pass with these changes.
