Bridge
In telecommunication networks, a bridge is a product that
connects a local area network (LAN) to another LAN that
uses the same protocol (for example, Ethernet or a token
ring). You can envision a bridge as being a device that
decides whether a message from you to someone else is
going to the LAN in your building or to someone on the
LAN in the building across the street. A bridge examines
each message on a LAN, passing those known to be within
the same LAN, and forwarding those known to be on the
other interconnected LAN or LANs.
