!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a computer [Network device] that interconnects two or more [networks] that use the same [Data-link Layer] [protocols] above the [Media Access Control] sublayer, but can use different [Media Access Control] [protocols] which is the process of [bridging].
[{$pagename}]s work on the [Data-link Layer] maintain a Learned [MAC Address] table for all [Local Area Networks] which it is connected.
[{$pagename}] connects a [Local Area Network] ([LAN]) to another [Local Area Network] that uses the same [protocol].
[{$pagename}] looks at the destination of the [packet] before forwarding and restricts transmission on other [Local Area Networks] if destination found. When the destination [Local Area Network] is not found the packet is broadcast on all [Local Area Networks] except the source [Local Area Network].
A bridge works at the data-link (physical network) level of a network, copying a data frame from one network to the next network along the communications path.
[Bridging] is distinct from [routing]. [Routing] allows multiple networks to communicate independently and yet remain separate, whereas [bridging] connects two separate networks as if they were a single [network] (hence the name "bridging").
[{$pagename}], in the [OSI-Model],is performed in the first two layers, below the [Network Layer] (layer 3).
If one or more segments of the bridged [network] is a [Wireless Network], the device is known as a wireless bridge and the function as wireless bridging.
[{$pagename}] or the process of [Bridging] is [standard] by the [IEEE 802.1] [Working Group].
