    gluon-ebtables-limit-arp: do not add multicast addresses to filter · 951b6632
    Linus Lüssing authored
    
    With the batman-adv multicast support compiled back in again we end up
    with multicast addresses in the batman-adv translation table.
    
    Currently we wrongly interpret multicast addresses returned by TT as a
    unique host, too, which adds them with a source address filter to
    ebtables as well. However, the source address of an ethernet frames is
    never supposed to be a multicat one.
    
    This leads to unnecessary entries in ebtables. Fixing this by ignoring
    those MAC addreses returned by TT which have the multicast bit set.
