Probably torch do not see traffic because it not transit from CPU?

RB5009 supports L2 hw offloading for VLAN filtering. All traffic not addressed to the CPU interface is handled by the switch chip with wire speed and not visible to the CPU, hence it does not appear in torch.
To torch bridge traffic with active VLAN filtering, temporarly disable HW offload on all bridge ports. This will degrade bridging performance a bit, but because all traffic flowing through the bridge is handled by the CPU what makes it visible in torch.
