I can think if a couple of possibilities. 1) This is broadcast/multicast traffic. 2) The mac addresses are unknown to the switch (So it will flood to find them.) 3) The port could be a trunk or a mirror of a trunk.
I am also seeing normal broadcast/multicast traffic, but that is to be expected. #3 is not the case here. As for #2, thats kinda where I was going with my original question -- why would a switch that is processing a session between two endpoints suddently forget the MAC? Yes, there are timeouts in play here, but aren't those along the lines of several minutes?
