Description

```
Description: In case of "local broadcast" the system still send ARP
request to the destination, but it shouldn't, it should
broadcast. For Example, the system has network with IP
10.0.0.88, netmask of 255.255.255.0, it should send
messages for 10.0.0.255 as broadcast, and not send ARP
for 10.0.0.255

For more easier networking, the next line should have give
me the broadcast address of the network, but it doesn't:

ioctl(_socket_fd, SIOCGIFBRDADDR, &bc_addr);
Status: Open
Priority: Medium
