t> What is the advantadge by using ebtables compared to iptables? They has a different purposes. Ebtables is Link Layer oriented filtering tool, used on linux bridge. Iptables is oriented for Network Layer (and upper layers). F.e. I made a 802.1Q VLAN match module for ebtables, because this is the task for bridge and at Link Layer.
