14.3.6 Plug & Play Bridging
The Speed Touch Home Bridge is a 'Plug & Play' device. Via the
bridge learning and ageing mechanism, it discovers at which side
of the Bridge machines are located.
Through this knowledge it is able to keep traffic, submitted to your
local printer, from crossing the Bridge. Yet it allows frames,
belonging to sessions with remote machines, to pass over the
ADSL Line.
