before my mailbox gets spammed by all of y'all, I'd like to publicly apologize for my "cisco bashing." cisco makes a fine product that I recommend in most situations. I'd still like to know that cisco listens to little guys like me, tho. Also, I need to point out that my recommendations of filtering the broadcast address are targeted towards leaf networks, rather than transit networks.

I think it would be very wise of cisco to have a global flag (or at least, a per-interface flag) which would prevent the forwarding of a packet to an all-ones address. If cisco won't add this feature, maybe Ascend will in their GRF, and maybe a few more GRF's will be sold because of it.
