A NIO of this type instructs the node to enslave its adapter's veth host end into the named Linux kernel bridge instead of wiring a uBridge UDP relay. Frames then flow entirely in the kernel (veth -> bridge -> veth). Impairment filters ride the NIO and run on the veth host end — one tc netem qdisc (delay/loss/corrupt and the netem extensions), cls_bpf match-drop (bpf) and the eBPF stateful classifier (frequency_drop, quota, window_drop); markers and packet capture are served by uBridge's AF_PACKET modules on the veth host end (marker add_kernel / capture start_kernel). ``bridge`` may be ``None``: the anchor is then bridged elsewhere — an Ethernet switch absorbed it into the switch's own kernel bridge — and this node applies only the link state the anchor carries (carrier, markers, impairments), never bridge membership. A NIO may additionally carry ``vxlan`` (a BridgeVxlan spec): the link crosses computes through a VXLAN device this end creates (uBridge's ``vxlan`` module) and enslaves into the same per-link bridge next to the anchor. The kernel encapsulates/decapsulates the frames; everything else — filters, markers, capture, carrier, suspend — still runs on the anchor, so the datapath behaves exactly like a same-host kernel link.
