2024-06-15 , E112 (capacity 156)

Most people have the impression that Linux Bridge is just a simple bridged network, which can only be used for simple interface forwarding. In fact, after years of development, Linux bridge has added many new features, such as MSTP, VLAN filter, IGMPv3/MLDv2, Switch dev and so on. These new features enable Linux bridge to match the ability of Layer 3 switches. In this lecture we will introduce to you how these features work, how to use them, and the benefits of using them.

Audiences need to know basic networking concepts.
