1.6. Bridge mappings

Bridge mappings allow provider network traffic to reach the physical network. Traffic leaves the provider network and arrives at the br-int bridge. A patch port between br-int and br-ex then allows the traffic to traverse to and from the provider network and the edge network. Kubernetes pods are connected to the br-int bridge through virtual ethernet pair: one end of the virtual ethernet pair is attached to the pod namespace, and the other end is attached to the br-int bridge.
