Quoting http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/examples.html#ex_speed :)

The redirect target is needed because the MAC address of the bridge port
is not necessarily equal to the MAC address of the bridge device. The
packets destinated to the bridge box will have a destination MAC address
equal to that of the bridge br0, so that destination address must be
changed to that of the bridge port.
