/**
 * @file
 * @brief Ethernet Bridge Learning.
 *
 * Populate the mac table with entries mapping the packet's source mac + bridge
 * domain ID to the input sw_if_index.
 *
 * Note that learning and forwarding are separate graph nodes. This means that
 * for a set of packets, all learning is performed first, then all nodes are
 * forwarded. The forwarding is done based on the end-state of the mac table,
 * instead of the state after each packet. Thus the forwarding results could
 * differ in certain cases (mac move tests), but this not expected to cause
 * problems in real-world networks. It is much simpler to separate learning
 * and forwarding into separate nodes.
