I have a bridge between eth0 and eth1. This bridge is stp disabled, and the ebtables filter table accepts input, forward and output. I didn't specify any filtering rule. When I send a packet (LACP for me), it is not going from one eth to the other. I have to say, explicitly, that the packet with ethertype 0x8809 are accepted in "forward". This is why I have some difficulties understanding the packetFlow, because, depending on the protocol, the behaviour doesn't seem to be the same...
