Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bridge is used to connect two segments of a network while keeping the traffic separated. It operates at the data link layer of the OSI model and filters data based on MAC addresses to ensure that data packets are only transmitted to the side of the bridge where the recipient device resides. This means that segment A traffic stays on segment A, and segment B traffic stays on segment B. A repeater and a hub simply repeat signals, while a router connects multiple networks, but does not keep traffic separated within those networks.
