Um...bridge newbie question coming up....

ebtables is new to me. I did a google on it and found some good info. I have
not found a direct comparison on what ebtables does different from iptables
or ipchains. I noticed there could be per user settings. 

I'm continuing to google, but does anyone know of such a page of comparison?
I've found the Home page and sourceforge page. Either I'm not diggin enough
in them, or they are to vague for me. Basically looking to see if I should
change my bridge / firewall code to this from ipchains.

Subject: [Bridge] bridge & ebtables & iptables


hi,

thanks ppl for ur help ..... yesterday Tino Keitel replied for my query and
the his solution worked...

now i have different trouble.... i am using iptables and am using bytelimit
to shaping traffic... ( FORWARD chain in filter table)..
as i cant mark packets when using ebtables. when i add a rule  like 
#iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.59 -m bytelimit --rate 100000 -j DROP
#
no error here.....

when i say
#iptables -L
the command doesnt print anything after FOWARD .....

i check this thru libiptc program(borrowed it from the libiptc docs) to list
all the chains.. then it says .... "Cann't find match 'bytelimit'" .... 

another thing #iptables -nvL prints properly ....

whats happening here ? does it have to do anything with bridge or ebtables ?
pls help...
thanks for the consideration,

bye
naren
