I've also seen this on the Marvell switch.  I'm not sure if the root
cause is in the Linux stack or in the mcast forwarding logic in the
switch.  Using the Marvell, I can make a layer2 TC or a UDPv4 BC, but
not a UDPv4 TC.

I haven't had time to dig deeper, and I think many people are happy
with a layer2 TC as that is called out in the TSN world.

Thanks,
Richard
