bridge-utils 1.6 Manipulate Ethernet bridges
Utilities for Linux's Ethernet bridging facilities. A bridge is a way to connect two Ethernet segments together in a protocol independent way. Packets are forwarded based on Ethernet address, rather than IP address (like a router). Since forwarding is done at Layer 2, all protocols can go transparently through a bridge.
