How does bridge work at the kernel level?
I'm not sure if I'm asking the right question yet, but suddenly someone knows who and how takes care of this virtual interface, and where you can get this information.
Given:
eth0 <-> br0 <-> eth1
Who can continue the chain: the real device eth0 initiates an interrupt -> the processor looks in the interrupt table where to get the driver code and what to do next

If you really want to understand GENERALLY network architecture, including interrupt handling, kernel structures, and so on, then there is a translation of a good book.
"Linux: Network Architecture. Structure and Implementation of Network Protocols in the Kernel", KUDITS-OBRAZ, ISBN 5-9579-0094-X
It is, of course, a little outdated, but it will give a general understanding.
In general, what is the goal? Maybe you're approaching the problem from the wrong side?
