Hi,
I have revisited this subject and was trying to find a scenario, where
multi/broad-cast packets would be affected by this patch and failed so
far.
Since only the source mac address of a guest is filtered, I don't see
how a multicast or broadcast destination mac address could be a problem.

What am I missing?
