DESCRIPTION
Tab - 29 REG14 Filtering Data Register Description
Filtering Buffer
The AX88140A stores one Ethernet address for local physical address and filters the packets
with multicast addresses by 64 bits array. For any incoming frame with a multicast destination
address, the AX88140A applies the standard Ethernet cyclic redundancy check function to the
destination address, then uses the most significant 6 bits of the result as a bit index into the table. If
the indexed bit is set, the frame is accepted. If the bit is reset, the frame is rejected.
