This leads to a bug I've literally been afraid to test:

How about forging a ping packet with source and destination
address YOUR.NET.HERE.255?  Should cause a brief but interesting
storm, while doing only minimal loading on the forger.

I do it is all the time to see what system are on my local
ethernet.
