I was under the impression that multicast storm-control block all traffic
irrespective of platform, but I was hit by the following:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3550/software/release/12.2_25_see/configuration/guide/swtrafc.html#wp1063295

On a 3550, 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.

Is there such a limitation on the 3560?

Thanks in advance,
Joseph.
