That's right, however it only sweeps through the VLANs announced within the 
TT-TVLV. However, my addition tries to check if there are any excess VLAN 
locally which are NOT in that TT-TVLV. I think this patch doesn't take care of 
that, or am I missing something?

For example, think of having VLAN 6 locally with a couple of global entries at 
the originator, but the TT-TVLV only announces VLANs 3,4,5. Then the fact that 
we also have VLAN 6 is not detected, and these (probably wrong) entries are 
never cleaned up.

Thanks!
