I really have nothing to back this up but I would *think* that additional
services on the same IP might mask the bridge from / confuse some
active/reactive probing based bridge disovery attacks. Then again, if
active probing is usually only done on a particular (ip, port) pair (the
one that someone in China is connecting to, for example), then there's
probably no difference anyway.
