I've sent an LLC1 'test' packet to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (from ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
for good measure) used to get about 600 replies! Mind you, even though
some systems failed to swap the LSAPs properly (command/response bit not
getting cleared because of the broadcast dlsap) traffic soom died down.....
(we fixed that bug though).
