          If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
          Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
          is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
          Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
          networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
          As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
          other third party bridge products.

          In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge
          configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
          for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more
          information.

          If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
          turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
          iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
          take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
          Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
          bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.

          To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
          will be called bridge.

          If unsure, say N.
