Hello, >From here: http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/
We read: The ebtables tool can be combined with the other Linux filtering tools (iptables, ip6tables and arptables) to make a bridging firewall that is also capable of filtering these higher network layers. This is enabled through the bridge-netfilter architecture which is a part of the standard Linux kernel. Can someone explain to me when/how you would use ebtables for enhanced security, or forward me to a good written presentation on when, why or how to deploy ebtables? Maybe a package already blends these components together? I recently saw ebtables pop up in a commercial product ( sniffed terminal boot session) offered by Seimens...... Of keen interest is documentation/experiences on the Gentoo platform when using ebtables. Googling has provided little. curiously, James
