[c-nsp] broadcast address question

[lee.e.rian at census.gov]

Either one works, but the all 1s broadcast address is more correct.  See
RFC-1122 Requirements for Internet Hosts -- Communication Layers

3.3.6  Broadcasts
 Hosts SHOULD use the Limited Broadcast address to broadcast to
 a connected network.
