Routing versus bridging
Bridging connects networks of the same type. In contrast to routing, bridges operate at lay-
er 2 of the OSI model (data link layer), are independent of higher-level protocols and trans-
mit data packets using MAC addresses. Data transmission is transparent, which means the
information contained in the data packets is not interpreted.
With routing, different networks are connected at layer 3 (network layer) of the OSI model
and information is routed from one network to the other.
