there are two things you care about: storm control and port security (mac address counting).Chopping up the layer-2 broadcast domain for a given VLAN into smaller pieces via pVLANs can't hurt, either, as long as the hosts have no need to talk to one another - and it has other benefits, as well.
I understand why hosts need to send broadcasts. In a close/single customer environment, broadcasts could be useful. I hope most future protocol designers now think of using multicast or other
discovery mechanisms besides broadcast.But in a service provider network (or any managed network), is there any reason why a customer needs to hear other customer's broadcasts? In practice, are there any useful broadcast messages in a multi-customer environment that can't/shouldn't be proxied by the network operator or handled other ways.
