2.10.1 Note on Bridging
When bridging is enabled, your Prestige forwards any packet that it does not route. Without bridging, the
packets that the Prestige does not route are simply discarded. Compared to routing, bridging generates far
more traffic for the same network protocol and consumes more CPU cycles and memory.
