I have create pppoe session over a pppoe relay socket:
A B and C are Linux nodes, B impl. a relay socket so
that A and B can create a pppoe session:

A ifA---------ifB0 B ifB1----------ifC C

Now I noticed that if ifB0 is in promisc mode it picks up other pppoe pkgs which
are meant for some other pppoe session to another node(D) and relays this
pkg to node C!

To me this looks like the pppoe relay socket does not check if the DST MAC on
pppoe pkgs received over ifB0 matches ifB0 MAC address?
Instead the relay socket happily relays any pppoe pkg as long as the session id 
matches.

This feels like a bug to me, comments?
