You mean like so you can wake a computer over the internet? I'm pretty sure a router on the internet at some point is going to drop the broadcast packet. It looks like the feature to look out for is called subnet directed broadcasts. It sends a "normal" packet until it arrives at the destination router, at which point the router turns it back into a broadcast packet. So if a destination router supports that feature, you might be able to wake computers behind it.
