On the subject of hacking the network stack to output broadcast/multicast
datagrams on all appropriate interfaces:-
Who would like a switch to do this in the kernel?
Who would be happier with a userland convenience function to do it?
Who would rather roll their own?
I have a diff in the works to do this, 'just for the heck of it', but I am
very wary of putting anything in the stack 'just for the heck of it' as
the current IP_ONESBCAST workaround strikes me as 'good enough'.
