It was my understanding on p2p links you do not need to specify
the broadcast because there is only one device on the farside.
If you have a multipoint (NBMA) address then you would have to specify
the broadcast on the map line.
At least that was my understanding
until i tried it again about a month ago. If i remember correctly
i also saw the broadcasts going out the multipoint without any map
statements. If anyone else could to confirm or correct the
above statement. (I was not on the mailing list then and did have
anyone to bounce it off of at that time).
Thanks
