I don’t think I am creating a loop, I have stp on and ebtables: 
-i eth2 -o eth1 -j DROP , pcnt = 301 -- bcnt = 17100
-i eth1 -o eth2 -j DROP , pcnt = 3787 -- bcnt = 180148

I would like to achieve that what ever hosts and networks I connect on 
ethx on tunx, could see the other ones located on the the other ethx or 
tunx. Is this not possible with the bridge? Is there another technique 
to do this?

Are you creating a spanning tree loop?  Also. Bridge is a Layer 2 device
not a Layer 3 device; therefore generally all interfaces in a bridge have same
subnet.

[Bridge] Bridge with 1x eth and 2x tun, adding 2nd eth, hosts become unavailable

[Marc Roos]

In this situation I can ping a vm from br0 connected to 172.16.1.y



   +---+   
   |BR0|   
   172.16.1.y  |   |  172.16.1.x
   |ETH2   TUN1|---   
   |   |   
   |   |  172.16.1.x
   |   TUN2|---   
   |   |
   +---+ 

When only adding a 2nd eth adapter with 'brctl addif br0 eth1' connected 
to 10.11.12.y. The same ping is not working anymore.


   +---+   
   |BR0|   
   172.16.1.y  |   |  172.16.1.x
   |ETH2   TUN1|---   
   |   |   
   |   |  172.16.1.x
10.11.12.y |   TUN2|---   
   |ETH1   |
   +---+   
 
When I remove the eth1 again, the ping starts working again.

Can someone explain me why the bridge is behaving like this? And how 
this can be fixed?
