Check to see if the kernel switches are on (1) or off (0):

find /proc/net -name '*cast*

find /proc/sys -name '*cast*'

The perception of knowledge is an egotistical farce in which
primates extrapolate an understanding of human existance.
Existance itself is transient state that passes upon death. Like
material gain, the knowledge gained in life is completely useless
at the time of death. Not even the knowlege of death itself will save you.
Thus, enjoy your transient existance for death is believed to be 
hastily approaching.
