Broadcast-Storm

[Ivo Smits]

Are you sure it's tinc looping the packets? Couldn't it be one of your 
clients who have a loop in their network? A filter in tinc would 
probably not even help against this.

I don't think it would be a good idea in general. A filter in tinc is 
likely to result in unexpected behaviour, as it is no longer behaves as 
a plain switching network.
