Not really -- AFAIK we're currently not using the information encapsulated
in broadcast traffic to judge the unicast packets. Besides, we're
aggregating the results from the IDSes, so it shouldn't matter on which node
a packet is processed.

But if the need arises, this could be added quite easily to the code.
