### Target Destination
The magic packet shall be sent to limited broadcast IP - `255.255.255.255` and the Discard Protocol Port `9`.
While sending it to targeted IP, for eg. 192.168.0.2 bound to desired mac address of the device might work, it is not reliable as sometimes the ARP cache will not be updated by router due to device being in low power mode and will drop this packet.
