Description

Sometimes we'll need a destination MAC address based VLAN device not to catch broadcasts and multicasts.

Check, if we can turn bcasts and mcasts off using standard tools, like ifconfig / ip(iproute2), if not - then we need to modify Linux 802.1Q implementation and userspace tools to add such option.
