Indeed, rwhod and routed are likely the *only* places to find
working examples.  However, anyone looking there should be aware
that the code in both will not work terribly well on a 4.3 system.
The issue of determining broadcast addresses was largely unresolved
in 4.2, and rwhod and routed simply use something that `happened
to work'.
