I’m inclined to agree. This looks like a misunderstanding of RFC 5735.
From that RFC:
(note that it only says “source address”)
which was based on RFC 1122, which states:
(section 3.3.6 just talks about it being a legacy IP for broadcasts - I don’t think that even works any more)
Okay, I see where I went wrong. Thank you.
I don’t think 0.0.0.0 works for broadcasts anymore, either - I think those get filtered by default these days.
I wasn’t disagreeing with you :) or at least I think I wasn’t. I was just quoting the RFC you linked to.
