3. What happens to packets with a DA matching the zero-DPV entry, are they also discarded in hardware? If so, here we differ from the bridge driver implementation where such packets will be forwarded according to the locked entry and egress the locked portI understand that egress will follow what is setup with regard to UC, MC and BC, though I haven't tested that. But no replies will get through of course as long as the port hasn't been opened for the iface behind the locked port.
Here, should we be rather fixing the software bridge, if the current behavior is to forward packets towards locked FDB entries?
