My view is that if a vendor sells products that have an Ethernet interface 
and claim to emulate an Ethernet, then they should actually emulate an 
Ethernet, at least by default.  Otherwise protocols and code that expect
the network to act like an Ethernet won't work.  That includes propagating 
broadcast and multicast packets to all stations.  If they can improve 
performance with clever snooping, fine, but that should always be optional.
