-The ebtables program is a filtering tool for a Linux-based bridging firewall. It
-enables transparent filtering of network traffic passing through a Linux bridge.
-The filtering possibilities are limited to link layer filtering and some basic
-filtering on higher network layers. Advanced logging, MAC DNAT/SNAT and brouter
-facilities are also included.
-
-The ebtables tool can be combined with the other Linux filtering tools (iptables,
-ip6tables and arptables) to make a bridging firewall that is also capable of
-filtering these higher network layers. This is enabled through the
-bridge-netfilter architecture which is a part of the standard Linux kernel.
