Not really. The question is whether the address is bound to the  
interface or not. Two different ethernet interfaces have different  
interface addresses but have the same broadcast address. If the  
underlying data link layer has a special broadcast address which is  
not AM_BROADCAST_ADDR, then the AM implementation will need to do the  
address translation.
