+Ethernet destinaton individual/group match
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Ethernet item supports I/G matching, if only the corresponding bit is set

+multicast, it matches all multicast (and broadcast) packets, oherwise it
+matches unicast packets that are not filtered by other flow rules.
