Ok...

Are you wanting to simulate he failure in EBTables or a failure 
elsewhere in the network that just happens to be passing through an 
EBTables bridge?

If you are wanting to do the latter, take a look at the network testing 
code under the QoS tree in the kernel.  I've never messed with it, but 
it is probably fairly easy to extend and make it do what you want to.
