based on DA when incoming packets is UNICAST. If
the DA was not found in address table, the packet is
treated as a multicast packet and forward to other
ports. If the DA was found and its destination port
number is different to source port number, the packet
is forward to destination port.

the forwarding decision, more detail will discuss in
later sections.
