1. Thanks for the awesome explanations. I've been dealing with these
terms for a while, but had not really grasped them too hard until now.
(To be honest, I had not looked them up in a while either.)
2. When would a directed broadcast be useful? Not only for WOL, but
for some disk imaging software (e.g. Symantec Ghost), directed
broadcasts is a way of pushing an image to multiple clients
simultaneously. Ghost specifically offers the choice of multicast,
directed broadcast, and unicast delpoyment via radio buttons on the
options page before a "ghostcasting" session is started.

Thanks for helping me brush up on basic networking! :)
Under what circumstances would directed broadcast actually be a useful
feature?
Wake-on-LAN. That's the only reason we permit directed-broadcasts.
