Note When the rate of multicast traffic exceeds a set threshold, all
incoming traffic (broadcast, multicast, and unicast) is dropped until the
level drops below the threshold level. Only spanning-tree packets are
forwarded. When broadcast and unicast thresholds are exceeded, traffic is
blocked for only the type of traffic that exceeded the threshold.

Does this mean that if I set the multicast storm-control threshold for a
port to 0.00%, it would never receive ANY traffic other than STP ?
