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.
