Although this is all true, it still doesn't explain the fact that UUNet is
allowing broadcast packets through their network.  One would think that
with the recent increase in broadcast DoS attacks, that UUNet would have
taken a much more proactive stance.  

167.132.194.255 is not a broadcast address.

167.132.2.15 is a broadcast address.

How would you expect UUNet to know that?
