what does if_bridge give you that cannot be achieved with ng_bridge+ng_eiface? Well, I guess it has some spanning tree algorythm in it, but it might be as easy to put

We had this same discussion a year ago.

You can do things with ng_bridge that you can't do with if_bridge..


for example bridge together 3 remote sites connected by ipsec tunnels.
