I believe that Network switches can be configured to prevent UDP packets from being broadcast. I googled for this and found the following sales info for one network switch that implies that this is true:
"Once the port is operational,the network administrator can use both regular and extended ACLs to control access to and through the network, enabling control policies that can permit or deny traffic based on a wide variety of identification characteristics, such as source/destination MAC addresses, source/destination IP addresses, and TCP/UDP ports/sockets or well-known port numbers?further protecting and restricting network access from malicious users." source link http://www.foundrynet.com/products/l23wiringcloset/fastiron/FIedgePOEDatasheet.html -Scott View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3908789#3908789 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3908789 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
