From http://www.quadrunner.com/~c-huegen/smurf.txt :
* Bay Networks:

A workaround is to set a false static ARP
address in the router for the broadcast address of the LAN you wish to
protect, or set a false static host route for the broadcast address.
Haven't played with any Bay routers since before this paper was
released, so I haven't tried it. Sounds like a reasonable solution,
though. Just a quick FYI.
