I wish to connect br0 and br1.  In theory, this is nothing but
bridging eth{00,01,10,11} using a single bridge.  In practice,

bottleneck between the two switches.  I wish to recreate this
situation.  Could someone point me how to do it?

You can create a virtual wire with interfaces foo and bar with:
	ip link add name foo type veth peer name bar

Then,
	brctl addif br0 foo
	brctl addif br1 bar

I didn't test sending actual traffic between the two.
