Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000134

A network device that connects two or more local area networks (LANs) or network segments, operating at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It forwards data frames based on MAC addresses, effectively segmenting network traffic and reducing collisions. Bridges are less complex than routers.
