Network bridge
A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model . Bridges are similar to repeaters or network hubs, devices that connect network segments at the physical layer, however a bridge works by using bridging where traffic from one network is managed rather than simply rebroadcast to adjacent network segments.
