From cf0f02d04a830c8202e6a8f8bb37acc6c1629a91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 22:59:06 -0800 Subject: [BRIDGE]: use llc for receiving STP packets Use LLC for the receive path of Spanning Tree Protocol packets. This allows link local multicast packets to be received by other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC code to get STP packets back into bridge code. The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP domains.
