Certainly, that should be done and I will look into it, but the
essence of this patch is a bit different. The problem here is not
the size of the fdb entries, it’s more the number of them - having
96000 entries (even if they were 1 byte ones) is just way too much
especially when the fdb hash size is small and static. We could work
on making it dynamic though, but still these type of local entries
per vlan per port can easily be avoided with this option.
96000 bits can be stored in 12k.  Get where I'm going with this?

Look at the problem sideways.
Oh okay, I misunderstood your previous comment. I’ll look into that.

Thanks,
 Nik
