I think the following topics need descriptions added to them to describe
what they are and what scenario it would be typically used in.
High Traffic on a Segment
Using a bridge as a bridge, i.e to cut down broadcasts. The handbook
already has this.
Filtering/Traffic Shaping Firewall
Using a bridge to packet filter traffic and queueing with altq or
Hooking a bridge up with EtherIP to tunnel layer 2 packets
What spanning tree is and why you would use it. Rave the merits of RSTP
which is so much faster
Hooking up tap interfaces from VMs such as qemu or vmware to the hosts
Ethernet adapter. the autobridge functions in rc.d can do this
and so on... Next will be to add the commands used to set up each
scenario, I can do this.
