It's possible, not instead, but together.
Or You may use iptables without ebtables.

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.
