255.255.255.255 will not be passed by a router. it remains on a local
segment. All hosts will act upon that address, using CPU time to pass the
packets up the stack.
224.0.0.1 is the all systems multicast group. Only those devices which are
members of the particular multicast group will take packets for that address
and pass them up the stack for action.
