Question 11(iii)

Briefly discuss the role of a bridge in networking.

Answer

A bridge is a device that links two networks together. Bridges are smart enough to know which computers are on which side of the bridge, so they only allow those messages that need to get to the other side to cross the bridge. Bridges can handle networks that follow same protocols.
