.PP
For
.IR bridge (3)
and
.IR ethermultilink (8),
the physical interface can be bypassed by writing
.B bypass
to the
.B ctl
file.
This means that packets transmitted on the interface
are not physically sent out but looped back to the bypass
.B data
file and packets
received on the physical interface are ignored.
Writing a packet to the bypass
.B data
file loops it back as if it was received
on the physical interface.
