We do test it though - at a network level, it is not really
distinguishable from using the bcast address as the multicast address.
It is subnet-local multicast, and there's really no reason to believe
why it shouldn't work well.
(Many lower-end switches actually treat mcast like bcast anyway, and
just broadcast it to every port ...)
