Hello, I ported almost everything but I'm stuck on function
STP_OUT_flush_lt (file bridge_track.c).

In file rstplib/topoch.c I read:

/*
 * In many kinds of hardware the function
 * STP_OUT_flush_lt is a) is very hard and b) cannot
 * delete learning emtries per port. The alternate
 * method may be used: we don't care operEdge flag here,
 * but clean learning table once for TopologyChange
 * for all ports, except the received port. I am ready to discuss :(
 * See below word STRONGLY_SPEC_802_1W
 */

So I suppose this function is currently disabled. Is that true?

If not, can you please give me advice in order to backport the above
function to the old ioctl() interface? It is not so clear to me what
exactly that function does... :(

Thanks in advance,

Rodolfo
