Description: Control software and documentation for bridging in 2.0 kernels
The 2.0.X Linux Kernels support Bridging. This modules contains
documentation and a tool to configure bridging.
Any protocol can be bridged not only protocols that are supported by the
Kernel. Bridging is very efficient by determining which Ethernet MAC
addresses are on which side of the Bridge and forwarding only packets
that are necessary. Linux will work like an Ethernet Switch!
.
You should have at least Linux 2.0.22 installed with bridging enabled
for this to work. Earlier kernels have a memory leak.
