Why can't we use the 802.1D specified STP group address to identify ? The existing code uses that address. I know you said on another thread that there are people using other addresses. Who are these people ? Are they following any standard ? What address / address range are they using ?
The group address can be reprogrammed, and it is settable on other routing equipment. People do it to create spanning tree domains.
