262What: Bridge netfilter deferred IPv4/IPv6 output hook calling
263When: January 2007
264Why: The deferred output hooks are a layering violation causing unusual
265 and broken behaviour on bridge devices. Examples of things they
266 break include QoS classifation using the MARK or CLASSIFY targets,
267 the IPsec policy match and connection tracking with VLANs on a
268 bridge. Their only use is to enable bridge output port filtering
269 within iptables with the physdev match, which can also be done by
270 combining iptables and ebtables using netfilter marks. Until it
271 will get removed the hook deferral is disabled by default and is
272 only enabled when needed.
