Nikos,
I have two interfaces in a bridge:
# ifconfig bridge0
bridge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 02:d7:d7:0d:ff:00
inet 10.14.133.20 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 10.14.133.63
nd6 options=9<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED>
id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 61440 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15
maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200
root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 61440 ifcost 0 port 0
member: vr0 flags=1c3<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,PTP,AUTOPTP>
ifmaxaddr 0 port 6 priority 128 path cost 200000
member: tap0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
ifmaxaddr 0 port 11 priority 128 path cost 2000000
#
"tcpdump -i vr0 stp" sees incoming STP traffic while "tcpdump -i tap0 stp"
sees none no matter if net.link.bridge.pfil_onlyip is "1" or "0".
I see however some IP6, IPX (!) and CDP frames.
