However, the network wide broadcast addresses will always be broadcasts
and grounds for potential filtering.  Something like 128.102.255.255 will
always be a broadcast no matter what subnet scheme is in use, unless
you are doing something really weird(!)...  Packets to this address should
NEVER be forwarded...
