This is done by copying the packet per host and changing the multicast destination MAC to a unicast one accordingly. *mcast_to_unicast* works on top of the multicast snooping feature of the bridge. Which means unicast copies are only delivered to hosts which are interested in unicast and signaled this via IGMP/MLD reports previously. This feature is intended for interface types which have a more reliable and/or efficient way to deliver unicast packets than broadcast ones (e.g. WiFi). However, it should only be enabled on interfaces where no IGMPv2/MLDv1 report suppression takes place. IGMP/MLD report suppression issue is usually overcome by the network daemon (supplicant) enabling AP isolation and by that separating all STAs. Delivery of STA-to-STA IP multicast is made possible again by enabling and utilizing the bridge hairpin mode, which considers the incoming port as a potential outgoing port, too (see *BRIDGE_MODE_HAIRPIN* option). Hairpin mode is performed after multicast snooping, therefore leading to only deliver reports to STAs running a multicast router. h](j3)}(h**IFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_TO_UCAST**h]j)}(hjYh]hIFLA_BRPORT_MCAST_TO_UCAST}(hj[hhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1jhjWubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1j2h^/var/lib/git/docbuild/linux/Documentation/networking/bridge:41: ./include/uapi/linux/if_link.hhMhjSubjO)}(hhh](h)}(huControls whether a given port will replicate packets using unicast instead of multicast.

Bridge Priority: Each bridge running a spanning tree protocol, has a configurable Bridge Priority value. The lower the value, the higher the priority. By default, the Bridge Priority is set to a standard value (e.g., 32768). 2. Bridge ID: The Bridge ID is composed of two components: Bridge Priority and the MAC address of the bridge. It uniquely identifies each bridge in the network. The Bridge ID is used to compare the priorities of different bridges. 3. Bridge Election: When the network starts, all bridges initially assume that they are the root bridge. They start advertising Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDU) to their neighbors, containing their Bridge ID and other information. 4. BPDU Comparison: Bridges exchange BPDUs to determine the root bridge. Each bridge examines the received BPDUs, including the Bridge Priority and Bridge ID, to determine if it should adjust its own priorities. The bridge with the lowest Bridge ID will become the root bridge. 5. Root Bridge Announcement: Once the root bridge is determined, it sends BPDUs with information about the root bridge to all other bridges in the network. This information is used by other bridges to calculate the shortest path to the root bridge and, in doing so, create a loop-free topology. 6. Forwarding Ports: After the root bridge is selected and the spanning tree topology is established, each bridge determines which of its ports should be in the forwarding state (used for data traffic) and which should be in the blocking state (used to prevent loops). The root bridge's ports are all in the forwarding state. while other bridges have some ports in the blocking state to avoid loops. 7. Root Ports: After the root bridge is selected and the spanning tree topology is established, each non-root bridge processes incoming BPDUs and determines which of its ports provides the shortest path to the root bridge based on the information in the received BPDUs. This port is designated as the root port. And it is in the Forwarding state, allowing it to actively forward network traffic. 8. Designated ports: A designated port is the port through which the non-root bridge will forward traffic towards the designated segment. Designated ports are placed in the Forwarding state. All other ports on the non-root bridge that are not designated for specific segments are placed in the Blocking state to prevent network loops. h](j3)}(h3Here's how the STP works and root bridge is chosen:h]h5Here’s how the STP works and root bridge is chosen:}(hj-$hhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1j2hhhKhj)$ubjO)}(hhh]henumerated_list)}(hhh](jP)}(hBridge Priority: Each bridge running a spanning tree protocol, has a configurable Bridge Priority value.
