The series adds an ability for the bridge to function in non-promiscuous mode.

What is the practical applications for such setup? In other words,
in which cases I would want to put bridge into non-promiscuous
mode and specify some uplink ports?


On of the applications would be when bridge is an edge device servicing a VM deployment. Each of the VMs knows the mac address that the guest
has and may program that mac onto the uplinks.
