Subject: [Bridge] How to connect more than 200 interfaces to a bridge

Hello everyone,

It seems we reach the Linux bridge limitation on the number of interfaces in a single bridge. Currently, we have 210 tap interface in a bridge, and we suffer from more than 50% packet loss when we ping the IP address of the virtual machine that uses one of the tap interfaces in the bridge.
Do you know how we can connect more than 200 VMs virtual interfaces to a bridge?

Best regards,
Ali
