#1242 BRIDGE-MIB implementation in C

[Vincent Bernat]

The current implementation of BRIDGE-MIB is done through a Perl subagent. This is something that is difficult to integrate into an embedded system. I propose here a similar implementation in C. It only covers RFC 4188 (no VLAN). Only Linux is currently supported but the module is written in a way that should enable the possibility to add additional OS.

Notifications are also supported. Only Linux 3.1 or later use Netlink to notify of a topology change. It is something difficult to detect. People with older kernel will need to query the MIB at regular interval to make those notifications work.
