     * @group:       	4.4.2.7 Forwarding
     *
     * @description:	The device forwards packets using the algorithm that is depicted in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3 shows stage one of the for-
     * 					warding algorithm where the search engine looks up the VLAN ID, static table, and dynamic table for the destination
     * 					address, and comes up with “port to forward 1" (PTF1). PTF1 is then further modified by spanning tree, IGMP snooping,
     * 					port mirroring, and port VLAN processes.
     * 					The ACL process works in parallel with the flow outlined above. The authentication and ACL processes have the highest
     * 					priority in the forwarding process, and the ACL result may override the result of the above flow. The output of the ACL
     * 					process is the final “port-to-forward 2" (PTF2) destination port(s).
     * 					The device will not forward the following packets:
     * 					• Error packets: These include framing errors, frame check sequence (FCS) errors, alignment errors, and illegal
     * 					size packet errors.
     * 					• MAC Control PAUSE frames: The device intercepts these packets and performs full duplex flow control accord-
     * 					ingly.
     * 					• “Local” packets: Based on destination address (DA) lookup. If the destination port from the lookup table matches
     * 					the port from which the packet originated, the packet is defined as “local”.
     * 					• In-Band Management packets.
