These switches have two modes of classifying broadcast: 1. Broadcast is multicast. 2. Broadcast is its own unique thing that is always flooded everywhere. This driver uses the first option, making sure to load the broadcast address into all active databases. Because of this, we can support per-port broadcast flooding by (1) making sure to only set the subset of ports that have it enabled whenever joining a new bridge or VLAN, and (2) by updating all active databases whenever the setting is changed on a port.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
