     1.4 +The ebtables program is a filtering tool for a Linux-based bridging firewall.
     1.5 +It enables transparent filtering of network traffic passing through a
     1.6 +Linux bridge.
     1.7 +The filtering possibilities are limited to link layer filtering and some
     1.8 +basic filtering on higher network layers. Advanced logging, MAC DNAT/SNAT
     1.9 +and brouter facilities are also included.
    1.10 +
    1.11 +The ebtables tool can be combined with the other Linux filtering tools
    1.12 +(iptables, ip6tables and arptables) to make a bridging firewall that is also
    1.13 +capable of filtering these higher network layers. This is enabled through
    1.14 +the bridge-netfilter architecture which is a part of the standard Linux kernel.
    1.15 +
    1.16 +The ebtables and arptables codebase is maintained by the netfilter developers,
    1.17 +who were so kind to take over maintenance of the software.
