I'll duplicate the packets and send them. It's not just multicast and broadcast that get this treatment; unicast to an unknown destination also has to be flooded. The rules are a little more complex for RBridges, because they use distribution trees for flooding, and where you send a packet depends in part on where you are. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
