!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is [standard] by the [IEEE 802.1] [Working Group].
[{$pagename}] is an [Interconnection] that creates a single aggregate logical [network] from multiple [communication] [networks] or [network] segments.
[{$pagename}] is performed [Data-link Layer] where [Routing] is performed at the Network Layer.
[{$pagename}] has a few different [Classifications]
* [Transparent bridging] uses a table called the forwarding information base to control the forwarding of frames between [network] segments. The table starts empty and entries are added as the [bridge] receives frames. If a destination address entry is not found in the table, the [frame] is flooded to all other ports of the [bridge], flooding the [frame] to all segments except the one from which it was received. By means of these flooded [frames], a host on the destination [network] will respond and a forwarding database entry will be created. Both source and destination addresses are used in this process: source [Network Address] are recorded in entries in the table, while destination addresses are looked up in the table and matched to the proper segment to send the frame to
* simple bridge connects two network segments, typically by operating transparently and deciding on a frame-by-frame basis whether or not to forward from one network to the other.
