Wake on LAN in corporate environments

[Robin Wood <robin () digininja org>]

I'd never thought of WOL being used in corporate environments but someone
mentioned the other day that theirs did so I was wondering if anyone tries
flooding a network with WOL packets as part of a test to see if anything
new wakes up.

It wouldn't take long to fire off a packet to every MAC address as it's a
single packet and you don't care about the reply. If it is a standardised
environment then you could limit the number you would have to send based on
OUI.
