Hello group,

Something I just learnt yersteday is that when setting the level of
multicast storm then the level of broadcast storm is implicitly set too
!?!?!? The reason why is because of the I/G bit set to 1 in the ethernet
destination mac-address.
But It apparently seems that setting the broadcast storm level does not
affect the multicast storm level !?!?

What I don't understand is why multicast storm control imply broadcast storm
control but the reverse is not true ?

Thanks,

--Richard
