User error. Issue is broadcast is not the same a multi-cast.

broadcast is not the same a multi-cast.

The syscall bind just books a protocol control block for the argument, and almost all the implementations (especially kernels have SO_BROADCAST-like options) will reject the booking with an IPv4 limited, or directed broadcast address because it connotes some ambiguity on IP packet routing.
