How Does the N18000 Process Data with the Destination MAC Address of All 0's?

When the data is used for Layer-2 communication:

1) If the destination MAC address is all 0's and the source MAC address is normal, the device floods the data.

2) If the source MAC address is all 0's and the destination MAC address is normal, the device does not learn the MAC address and normally forwards the data.

When the data is used for Layer-3 communication:

1) If the destination MAC address is all 0's and the source MAC address is normal, the device does not forward the data at Layer 3 because the destination MAC address is not the MAC address of the device.

2) If the source MAC address is all 0's and the destination MAC address is normal, the device normally forwards the data.
