gluon-ebtables-filter-multicast: drop icmpv6 type 128 & 139, drop icmp
in a layer 2 mesh network, multicast pings cause a lot of traffic in the network, significantly increasing the 'backgroudn noise' (= Grundrauschen) and stressing nodes in the network. this commit blacklists all icmpv4 multicast traffic as well as multicast icmpv6 echo-requests and node iformation queries. as no application depending on these types of multicast traffic is known, blacklisting is safe.
