Bridging is a LAN technology that transparently relays Ethernet
frames between Bridging ports.
Depending on the destination MAC addresses of Ethernet frames,
the bridge makes decisions whether to forward or discard frames.
Central to the operation of a databridge is its filtering database.
All forwarding and filtering actions are based on information in
this database.
