BRIDGE MODE ENUM DEFINITION(9)

🌉 Bridge mode enum definition(9) 🌉

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for Bridge mode enum definition — it’s a one-enum girlie, but she is lowkey iconic. 💅✨

• BRIDGE_MODE_HAIRPIN — controls whether traffic may be sent back out of the port on which it was received. This option is also called reflective relay mode, and is used to support basic VEPA (Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator) capabilities. By default, this flag is turned off and the bridge will not forward traffic back out of the receiving port. 🫶
