I don't think it will, at least not in the normal case. The hardware should know the egress port, so there is no need to forward a copy to the CPU. The only time it should forward to the CPU is when the egress port is not known, so it floods. Without offload_fwd_mark set, the SW bridge will flood it back out the ports causing duplication. But that is not too bad. The Marvell driver did this for a while and nothing bad was reported. Andrew
