Or >are they having same effect ? . Generally, nat and broute are intended to be a configuration databases only, where special semantics to standard verdicts can apply, as it does for broute. To avoid confusion, the use of DROP in nat is not advised, and iptables checks for such attempts. Ebtables doesn't, but then again, it's the 4th-order-stepson of iptables only... deep down below in source code, DROP just does that - drop. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
