This is how I understood it as well from several InternetworkExpert
scenarios

Asunto: ip multicast helper-map - ip directed broadcast

Looking at the "ip multicast helper" example on the Doc CD reachable via:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr
_c/ipcpt3/1cfmulti.htm#1003511

I don't understand how the directed broadcast, created from the multicast
stream at the incoming interface of the last hop router, is sent out on the
outgoing interface as physical broadcast using default interface
configuration.

Because this interface will just drop the directed broadcast arriving at the
interface. In order to prevent this from happening the command "ip directed
broadcast should" be configured on the outgoing interface of the last hop
router.

Since this example doesn't say anything about that, I'm still wondering if
this is correct, could somebody confirm this?
