/*
 * This code implements bridging in FreeBSD. It only acts on ethernet
 * type of interfaces (others are still usable for routing).
 * A bridging table holds the source MAC address/dest. interface for each
 * known node. The table is indexed using an hash of the source address.
 *
 * Input packets are tapped near the beginning of ether_input(), and
 * analysed by calling bridge_in(). Depending on the result, the packet
 * can be forwarded to one or more output interfaces using bdg_forward(),
 * and/or sent to the upper layer (e.g. in case of multicast).
 *
 * Output packets are intercepted near the end of ether_output(),
 * the correct destination is selected calling bdg_dst_lookup(),
 * and then forwarding is done using bdg_forward().
 * Bridging is controlled by the sysctl variable net.link.ether.bridge
 *
 * The arp code is also modified to let a machine answer to requests
 * irrespective of the port the request came from.
 *
 * In case of loops in the bridging topology, the bridge detects this
 * event and temporarily mutes output bridging on one of the ports.
 * Periodically, interfaces are unmuted by bdg_timeout().
 * Muting is only implemented as a safety measure, and also as
 * a mechanism to support a user-space implementation of the spanning
 * tree algorithm. In the final release, unmuting will only occur
 * because of explicit action of the user-level daemon.
 *
 * To build a bridging kernel, use the following option
 *    option BRIDGE
 * and then at runtime set the sysctl variable to enable bridging.
 *
 * Only one interface is supposed to have addresses set (but
 * there are no problems in practice if you set addresses for more
 * than one interface).
 * Bridging will act before routing, but nothing prevents a machine
 * from doing both (modulo bugs in the implementation...).
 *
 * THINGS TO REMEMBER
 *  - bridging requires some (small) modifications to the interface
 *    driver. Not all of them have been changed, see the "ed" and "de"
 *    drivers as examples on how to operate.
 *  - bridging is incompatible with multicast routing on the same
 *    machine. There is not an easy fix to this.
 *  - loop detection is still not very robust.
 *  - the interface of bdg_forward() could be improved.
