Storm control in 3550 and 3560 switches

Hi All,

   My understanding on ,Multicast storm control on 3550 switch is as below

   "When the rate of multicast frames increased more than the specified rate
on the Multicast storm-control configuration,it will block all multicast
frames exceeded and also even all unicast/broadcast traffic is dropped until
the multicast rate on the port is decreased than the threshold
defined.Exceptions would be BPDU's and CDP frames".

Is my above understanding right ?.If so ,my questions is

Does the above statement is also true for 3560 switches.For some reason.I
couldn't find a reference on the 3560 config guide,unless I missed it.

Thank you for the assistance.
