Meaning of Bridge-Check in iptables flowchart
- by networkIT
In the famous iptables flow-chart
what does bridge-check exactly stands for ?
I couldn't find any documentation. The only clue I found was while scanning the MikroTik RouterOS documentation ( RouterOS is build upon a Linux 2.6.16 kernel ), I found this :
In-interface Bridge = Checks if the input interface is a port for a bridge or is the bridge.
Manual:Packet Flow
Comparing both flow-charts brings clues that iptables Bridge-check might equal MikroTik In-Interface Bridge. Is this true ? Else, what might be the meaning of iptables Bridge-Check ?
