8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.

Information
Broadcast traffic (all 0xFs) should be counted against the broadcast storm control meter, not against
the multicast storm control meter. It is possible, however, that some multicast control traffic may get
dropped when storm control thresholds are exceeded.
