Description: Bridge Control software and Documentation
 This modules contains documentation, tools and a kernel patch to support
 bridging with protocol filtering and monitoring functions for those protocols.
 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 super intelligent Ethernet Switch!
 .
 CAUTION: The bridging code in the kernel is experimental and Debian
 kernels do not have bridging enabled by default. You must apply a patch
 in order for the advanced bridging features to work.
