SMURF destination is broadcast address of IP subnet, considering VLSM
and CIDR you should block all odd ip addresses (cause broadcast is
always odd and subnet mask is variable)
But you should remember that, we block smurf in edge routers connected
to subnets, so you don't need to block every subnet in the world, just
you own broadcast IP.
