-Alternatively, the commands can be echo'ed directly to the pipe used by ebtablesd,
-which has default location /tmp/ebtables-vx.y.z/ebtablesd_pipe, where
-x.y.z is the ebtables version (e.g. 2.0.7). Using echo instead of ebtablesu is
-much faster because echo is a bash built-in command. Commands like cat can be used
-too, of course.

.SS CHAINS
There are three ebtables tables with built-in chains in the
Linux kernel. These tables are used to divide functionality into
