In the upcoming VXLAN MDB implementation, the 0.0.0.0 and :: MDB entries will act as catchall entries for unregistered IP multicast traffic in a similar fashion to the 00:00:00:00:00:00 VXLAN FDB entry that is used to transmit BUM traffic. In deployments where inter-subnet multicast forwarding is used, not all the VTEPs in a tenant domain are members in all the broadcast domains. It is therefore advantageous to transmit BULL (broadcast, unknown unicast and link-local multicast) and unregistered IP multicast traffic on different tunnels. If the same tunnel was used, a VTEP only interested in IP multicast traffic would also pull all the BULL traffic and drop it as it is not a member in the originating broadcast domain [1]. Prepare for this change by allowing the 0.0.0.0 group address in the common rtnetlink MDB code and forbid it in the bridge driver. A similar change is not needed for IPv6 because the common code only validates that the group address is not the all-nodes address.
