Hello, |

From here: http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/ |

We read: |
7 |
The ebtables tool can be combined with the other Linux filtering tools |
8 |
(iptables, ip6tables and arptables) to make a bridging firewall that is also |
9 |
capable of filtering these higher network layers. This is enabled through the |
10 |
bridge-netfilter architecture which is a part of the standard Linux kernel. |

Can someone explain to me when/how you would use ebtables |
14 |
for enhanced security, or forward me to a good written |
15 |
presentation on when, why or how to deploy ebtables? |
16 |
Maybe a package already blends these components together? |
17 |
I recently saw ebtables pop up in a commercial product |
18 |
( sniffed terminal boot session) offered by Seimens...... |

Of keen interest is documentation/experiences on the |
22 |
Gentoo platform when using ebtables. Googling has provided little. |

25 |
curiously, |
