> New mode of macvlan interface called "source" allows one to specify, which frames are allowed to be received by given macvlan interface. This logic is used only on received frames on underlaying interface. The ability to send frames from macvlan interface through underlaying interface is not modified. This feature allows one to simulate 802.1x mac based VLAN bahaviour by using proper netlink message to configure this behavior with utililty such as "ip link" from iproute2 suite.
