| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 1 The ebtables program is a filtering tool for a Linux-based bridging firewall. |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 2 It enables transparent filtering of network traffic passing through a |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 3 Linux bridge. |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 4 The filtering possibilities are limited to link layer filtering and some |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 5 basic filtering on higher network layers. Advanced logging, MAC DNAT/SNAT |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 6 and brouter facilities are also included. |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 7 |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 8 The ebtables tool can be combined with the other Linux filtering tools |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 9 (iptables, ip6tables and arptables) to make a bridging firewall that is also |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 10 capable of filtering these higher network layers. This is enabled through |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 11 the bridge-netfilter architecture which is a part of the standard Linux kernel. |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 12 |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 13 The ebtables and arptables codebase is maintained by the netfilter developers, |
| Hans-G?nter@25131 | 14 who were so kind to take over maintenance of the software. |
