4.2.3.10 Remote Address Validation
A TCP implementation MUST reject as an error a local OPEN
call for an invalid remote IP address (e.g., a broadcast or
multicast address).
An incoming SYN with an invalid source address must be
ignored either by TCP or by the IP layer (see Section
3.2.1.3).
A TCP implementation MUST silently discard an incoming SYN
segment that is addressed to a broadcast or multicast
address.
