Hi Stephen,

Any plans to push the new 'bridge' tool into the next release? We
have been using it internally and it works great. I also wanted
to add some code to it for managing the forwarding tables of the
embedded switching elements and have been experimenting with some
code to enable VEB/VEPA modes.

If you want me to help with testing or otherwise let me know.

Thanks,
John

It is on my TODO list, but haven't got to it yet. Will put in for 3.5.
The name will be 'bridge' not 'br' to avoid conflict wit X10

Sounds good thanks. Figured it was on your TODO list somewhere
thought I would check though.
