What are your MTU settings?
All interfaces inside a bridge must have the the MTU of the smallest ; in some versions of bridge-utils you can add mismatched interface mtu's and everything breaks.Also are all your tap devices over proper ethernet segments? As soon as you have a Wireless segment then it will break (due to the WLAN layer2 frames overwriting mac's / remembering only the point to point mac's).

Hi Joel,
thanks for your answer!! but i CAN'T understand why my bridge (SERVER
A) don't forward the arp-request
from LAN to my other side of L2TPv3 (SERVER B).... so, all i need it's
that my 'bridge' forward (broadcast, anycast, unicast, arp, ...)
everything to other side of L2TPv3 bridge... let me try to explain
below...
e.g:
+------------------------------------------------+
| Bahia: lan network 10.251.0.0/16 |
+------------------------------------------------+
|
| +-----------------------------+
+--> | Bridge A |
| LAN: bridge/promisc|
| WAN: 200.199.10.1 |
+---- +-----------------------------+
|
|
\ +--------------------------------------------------------+
+---| L2TPv3 / promisc / l2tpeth0 over WAN |
/ +--------------------------------------------------------+
|
| +-----------------------------+
+--> | Bridge B |
| LAN: bridge/promisc|
| WAN: 200.199.10.2 |
+-----+-----------------------------+
|
+-------------------------------------------------+
| Recife: lan network 10.251.0.0/16 |
+-------------------------------------------------+
e.g - 1: from side 'B', i can send icmp request to anyone in
10.251.0.0/16. but can't receive response because
my bridge A ignore/discard all packets arp/unicast/... and does not
forward to Bridge B. only broadcast!
e.g - 2: (sysct/proxy_arp) don't solves my problem... if somebody have
any suggestion, please! tell me! :)
