Description
It should be possible to test for an incorrect address list setting that sends EPICS broadcast traffic to the private network. This test would need to happen on a system running IOCs, client, python (both in gui and outside). Maybe a separate test in squish, or maybe just a background process and a nagios monitor on the squish server so it looks for any broadcasts across everything.
A python program to listen for EPICS broadcasts is needed, but should be quite simple - it just needs to bind to the private interface and listen for any UDP traffic going to ports 5064 and 5065 and then e.g. increment a counter that can be queried
