+What: Bridge netfilter deferred IPv4/IPv6 output hook calling
+When: January 2007
+Why: The deferred output hooks are a layering violation causing unusual
+ and broken behaviour on bridge devices. Examples of things they
+ break include QoS classifation using the MARK or CLASSIFY targets,
+ the IPsec policy match and connection tracking with VLANs on a
+ bridge. Their only use is to enable bridge output port filtering
+ within iptables with the physdev match, which can also be done by
+ combining iptables and ebtables using netfilter marks. Until it
+ will get removed the hook deferral is disabled by default and is
+ only enabled when needed.
