802.1Q-2005, 8.6.3 and 8.13.4. However, some bridges are allowed to
forward those frames: two port mac relays can forward frames when
destination is 01-80-C2-00-00-03 (802.1Q-2011, dunno which part since
it's not freely available) and QinQ bridges can forward frames when the
destination is 01-80-C2-00-00-00 (LLDP frames can use those MAC
addresses since 802.1AB-2009, dunno if there is something similar for
LACP).
