I feel like a "hub" qualifies as "a device that doesn't do address
learning and floods unicast frames".
To me, the fundamental difference between a hub and a switch / bridge is
address learning.
I can't tell if your (quoted) statement is specific to /just/ bridges /
switches or could include hubs. Your first comment addresses bridges
directly, thus meaning that your second non-targeted comment might
target more.
