morning.
so tpmr(4), which is a small page anyway, says:
A TPMR is a simplified Ethernet bridge that provides
a subset of the functionality as found in bridge(4).
and
Other forms of Ethernet bridging are available using the
bridge(4) driver.
that's in (the only) 9 lines of text in DESCRIPTION. maybe the first
paragraph could read like this:
DESCRIPTION
The tpmr driver implements an 802.1Q (originally 802.1aj)
Two-Port MAC Relay (TPMR). A TPMR is a simplified Ethernet
bridge with exactly two member ports, and it
unconditionally relays Ethernet packets between those ports.
then you could use your changes to expand the reference to bridge and
veb.
