Summary : Legacy user space tool to configure bridge netfilter rules in kernel
URL : http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/
License : GPLv2+
Description : Ethernet bridge tables is a firewalling tool to transparently filter network
: traffic passing a bridge. The filtering possibilities are limited to link
: layer filtering and some basic filtering on higher network layers.
:
: This tool is the userspace control for the bridge and ebtables kernel
: components (built by default in Fedora kernels).
:
: The ebtables tool can be used together with the other Linux filtering tools,
: like iptables. There are no known incompatibility issues.
:
: Note that it is considered legacy upstream since nftables provides the same
: functionality in a much newer code-base. To aid in migration, there is
: ebtables-nft utility, a drop-in replacement for the legacy one which uses
: nftables internally. It is provided by iptables-nft package.
