svn commit: r292379 - in head/sys: netinet netinet6

  Steven,

another feasible solution for the design described in the 156226
would be to run STP on the switches, and if_bridge(4) instead of
if_lagg(4) on FreeBSD, also with STP enabled. Would work perfectly.

Of course, if switches are dumb and cheap, and can't do STP,
then a tiny bpf-writer is the right solution.

P.S. When I was running network in my university dormitory, we
used a lot of cheap solutions, and a lot of dirty workarounds,
but none of the latter made its way to FreeBSD kernel. You can
also ask Eugene Grosbein, he also has huge experience of living
on not so pleasant workarounds, but not pushing them agrressively
into the kernel.
