Enabling receiving and forwarding of directed broadcasts to a directly connected network

Directed broadcast packets are broadcast on a specific network. In the destination IP address of a directed broadcast, the network ID identifies the target network, and the host ID is made up of all ones. If a device is allowed to forward directed broadcasts to a directly connected network, hackers may mount attacks to the network. However, you can enable the feature by using the UDP Helper function to convert broadcasts to unicasts and forward them to a specified server.
