				Frames with unknown destination MAC addresses are replicated to any

				hook.
				In this case the node assumes, that all unknown MAC addresses are
				located soley on the
				.Ar uplink
				hooks and only those hooks will be used to send out frames with
				unknown destination MACs.
				If the first connected hook is an

				hook, the node will replicate such frames to all types of hooks,
				even if
				.Ar uplink
				hooks are connected later.
