Subject: [RFC] content: explicitly document the VLAN filtering as best-effort
Similar to the MAC address based filtering, the VLAN filtering is also best-effort in implementations, but it's not quite clear in the spec. So document this behaviour explicitly to reflect the way implementations behave. Signed-off-by: Tiwei Bie <tiwei.bie@intel.com> --- This is a RFC for now (Comments would be appreciated!).
