Hi,

I would like to filter out all broadcast messages.  The packets could come 
from 255.255.255.255 or multiple other addresses of the form 10.*.*.255.  
What kind of syntax do I use to DROP these packets?  The line below will 
filter out packets from 255.255.255.255 but I'm not sure what syntax to use 
to DROP the other adresses.

iptables -A INPUT -d 255.255.255.255 -p udp -j DROP

Regards,
GJ
