I guess you run into a problem when you broadcast. If you think about it,
when a switch (bridge) receives a packet that it doesn't know the
destination, it broadcast out all ports, except the one the it was learned
on.

In a hub and spoke environment, if what I am thinking is correct, won't
broadcast a packet out of a the interface it learned it through, even though
they are on different PVC's.

I don't really have any crazy configs, just thinking conceptually and
wondering how this will affect bridging.
