This mark prevents a multicast packet being flooded through the whole mesh. The advantage of marking certain multicast packets via e.g. ebtables instead of dropping is then the following:
This allows an administrator to let specific multicast packets pass as long as they are forwarded to a limited number of nodes only and are therefore creating no burdon to unrelated nodes.
For instance when applied to ARP Requests then this allows ARP Requests to be forwarded to the three DHT candidates via unicast. But it disables the broadcast fallback if the unicast attempts were left unanswered.
