128Packet filtering can be used with any firewall package that hooks in via the

130framework.
131When filtering is enabled, bridged packets will pass through the filter
132inbound on the originating interface, on the bridge interface and outbound on
133the appropriate interfaces.
134Either stage can be disabled.
135The filtering behaviour can be controlled using
