All bits set on a host address is a broadcast address for that network. On
a x.x.x.y/24 network, that means the [pseudo] host with x.x.x.255
Correct.
Don't quote me on this, but I think that all bits unset on a host address
is a routing address (or something like that) for that network[1]. On a
x.x.x.y/24 network, that means the [pseudo] host with x.x.x.0 is used for
routing information.
Wrong. It's a broadcast address.
Really, there should only be one broadcast address per network, but for
historical raisins, we have two.
