This patch enables chains that have a known prefix in their name. Known prefixes are: 'ipv4', 'ipv6', 'arp', 'rarp'. All prefixes are also protocols that can be evaluated on the ebtables level. Following the prefix they will be automatically connected to an interface's 'root' chain and jumped into following the protocol they evaluate, i.e., a table 'arp-xyz' will be accessed from the root table using ebtables -t nat -A <iface root table> -p arp -j I-<ifname>-arp-xyz thus generating a 'root' chain like this one here: Bridge chain: libvirt-O-vnet0, entries: 5, policy: ACCEPT -p IPv4 -j O-vnet0-ipv4 -p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp -p 0x8035 -j O-vnet0-rarp -p ARP -j O-vnet0-arp-xyz -j DROP where the chain 'arp-xyz' is accessed for filtering of ARP packets.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
