Should this paragraph above be a clue for the flag name? Sorry for late comment, but having flag called FLAG_POINTTOPOINT is really confusing. ptp, p2p terms are heavily used and will mislead folks.
Would it be better to call it something like IGNORE_MAC_ADDRESS if this is the feature you are targeting?
