In case others are engaged in lobbying with cisco, here are my case
numbers with the cisco TAC on this topic:
-----------------------------------------------------
CASE: H87031
OPENED: 05-AUG-97
DESCRIPTION: turn off IP packet directed broadcast by default
-----------------------------------------------------
CASE: H87037
OPENED: 05-AUG-97
DESCRIPTION: make "ip classless" default for ISP IOS images
-----------------------------------------------------
The "ip classless" is important since various folks have chunks
of former class A address space but do not have the entire former
class A. For example, @Home has a small slice of 24.x.x.x,
but several other providers are also in 24.x.x.x.
