snoopy(1), eh? ;-)
i need a simple jumbo-capable wide spot in the network. snoopy+devbridge
should do it.
it seems it should be trivial adding jumbo support.

ok, i'm still not sure what you're trying to do but thought i'd
mention that bridge(3) is not something that implements an "Ethernet
bridge" as in ANSI/IEEE 802.1d

i don't have the 802.1d standard. i can imagine the mss business isn't
standard and it seems a real bridge needs to participate in spanning-tree
stuff. is there anything else a bridge must do?
i just want to be able to keep traffic counters &c between two hosts connected
back-to-back. i think bridge(3) provides more than i need, but i might be
missing something.
