Why?

Based on my understanding, I can use bridge and ignore the routing process
(ip stack). But sometime I would like to filter the packets (for forwarding)
on the bridge level and/or also to pass to ip stack to do ip router
functionalities. On the ip stack I would like to do filtering again with the
netfilter architecture. Therefore I was thinking like that, or do you have
comments or ideas ?


cheers,
Lennert
