The flood mode command allows you to change the flood optimization mode to either Convergence Optimized
mode or Resilience Optimized mode. The Convergence Optimized mode floods all traffic to all line cards;
all unknown unicast packets, all broadcast packets, and all multicast packets are flooded over all other bridge
domain network interfaces. The Resilience Optimized Mode works like Bandwidth Optimized mode, except
that it floods traffic to both primary and backup FRR links for a Pseudowire.
