I would like some information on the availability of
local (ethernet-to-ethernet) bridges, such as:
     - Manufacturer
     - Price
     - Performance (packets/sec forwarding)
     - Filtering capabilities (security filtering)
     - Management tools such as SNMP
Any information about your favorite local bridge will be much appreciated.
I will post a summary of the responses.
