+cat << EOF
+A Linux bridge is more powerful than a pure hardware bridge because it 
+can also filter and shape traffic. A bridge transparently relays traffic 
+between multiple network interfaces. In plain English this means that 
+a bridge connects two or more physical Ethernets together to form one 
+bigger (logical) Ethernet.
