In the upcoming VXLAN MDB implementation, the 0.0.0.0 and :: MDB entries
will act as catchall entries for unregistered IP multicast traffic in a
similar fashion to the 00:00:00:00:00:00 VXLAN FDB entry that is used to
transmit BUM traffic.
In deployments where inter-subnet multicast forwarding is used, not all
the VTEPs in a tenant domain are members in all the broadcast domains.
It is therefore advantageous to transmit BULL (broadcast, unknown
unicast and link-local multicast) and unregistered IP multicast traffic
on different tunnels. If the same tunnel was used, a VTEP only
interested in IP multicast traffic would also pull all the BULL traffic
and drop it as it is not a member in the originating broadcast domain
[1].
Prepare for this change by allowing the 0.0.0.0 group address in the
common rtnetlink MDB code and forbid it in the bridge driver. A similar
change is not needed for IPv6 because the common code only validates
that the group address is not the all-nodes address.
