svn commit: r195921 - head/sys/net

New Revision: 195921
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/195921

Log:
  The new flow table caches both the routing table entry as well as the
  L2 information. For an indirect route the cached L2 entry contains the
  MAC address of the gateway. Typically the default route is used to
  transmit multicast packets when explicit multicast routes are not
  available. The ether_output() function bypasses L2 resolution function
  if it verifies the L2 cache is valid, because the cached L2 address
  (a unicast MAC address) is copied into the packets as the destination
  MAC address. This validation, however, does not apply to broadcast and
  multicast packets because the destination MAC address is mapped
  according to a standard method instead.
