BNetEx, UDP send and receive on the same computer

Quote: TaskMaster
Broadcasting can be blocked by hardware. So, relying on it could be bad. Many switches will block broadcasting and not allow it.

Broadcasting could also be sent out a persons Internet connection which could then be considered port scanning by their ISP which could get there connection cut off.

Surely this doesn't mean the UDP system of Vertex' BNetEx is fundamentally flawed does it? Cos I've only just finally found a networking lib that I can actually get my head around and understand :-\
