It is wonderful to know that everyone has 'no ip directed-broadcast'.
It's *SO* easy to do!

What is trivial in IOS may turn out to be a real bitch on other equipment. From what I understand, Bay is working on getting a similar feature in 12.something, but what of Ascend, OpenRoute, and others making equipment that can handle big connections? Perhaps some of the folks on NANOG that use equipment other than Cisco would like to share how they "configure their router for that"? It would be a nice service to everyone... Charles
