+ "Utilities for Linux's Ethernet bridging facilities. A bridge is a way
+to connect two Ethernet segments together in a protocol independent way.
+Packets are forwarded based on Ethernet address, rather than IP address (like
+a router). Since forwarding is done at Layer 2, all protocols can go
+transparently through a bridge.")
