[HECnet] 1.551 CLOUDY

[Johnny Billquist]

Supratim, the bridge program have a config. In it, you specify both the 
local interface, as well as remote sites. You can list multiple remote 
sites.
There is only one thing to keep in mind - don't create loops. The bridge 
program do not have anything similar to STP, so it will not detect 
loops, but will just send the packets around spinning if you do.
Otherwise it is extremely straight forward.

Let me know if anything is unclear.
