Learning Strategy

• Listen promiscuously for all traffic

• Store (src addr, port) tuple in "station cache" for each new sender observed

• For each received frame:

  • try to match frame dest to cache src entry
  • not there->send on all interfaces except rcv
  • is there->send on indicated, or filter if same as rcv interface

• Age cache entries
