EBTables is a very good basic layer 2 filtering mechanism.  However, I
don't think you can do statefull matching with EBTables like you can
with IPTables.  By using IPTables to filter traffic for bridges, you can
take advantage of all of the advanced match extensions that you can not
do with EBTables.
