You should just need 49152 to be open. The broadcasts only occur on the
control port.

Glad to hear it!

Basically the firewall lets devices talk back through port that
initiated the conversation. Because of this, UHD sends an data packet
into the USRP2 even for receive only applications. :-)

However, this simple firewall rule will not, in the case of a broadcast
open a reply hole for every device talking through that port.

I guess its just another one of those things you do to prepare a host
system for use. Just like setting up udev, or sysctl limits.
