"0x000000D1" Stop error when you create network bridges in Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012.
You have at least two network adapters that are connected to the same network segment.
You try to create network bridges between these network adapters.

In this scenario, the system crashes, and you receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:

STOP: 0x000000D1 (parameter 1, parameter 2, parameter 3, parameter 4)

Notes

This Stop error describes a DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error.
The parameters in the Stop error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.
Not all "Stop 0x000000D1" errors are caused by this issue.

When you create network bridges in the same network segment, a network storm consumes all available system resources.

To work around this issue, do not create network bridges between network adapters that are connected to the same network segment.
