Sturgeon's Law probably applies: ninety percent of everything is crud. I had taken some measurements off an intranet (sorry, I hate that word, too) WAN link that showed port 137 UDP traffic to classful broadcast addresses (as were mentioed earlier) on a scale that made me invoke Sturgeon's Law on the people who operated the router at the far end of the link.
