|
|
Both bridge and router selectively forward data packets
|
|
|
A bridge uses IP addresses while a router uses MAC addresses
|
|
|
A bridge builds up its routing table by inspecting incoming packets
|
|
|
A router can connect between a LAN and a WAN
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Transparent bridging [69] defines three main operations for transparent bridges: frame filtering (also called packet filtering) and forwarding, address learning, and loop resolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -A transparent bridge is a common type of bridge that observes incoming network traffic to identify media access control (MAC) addresses. These bridges operate in a way that is transparent to all the network’s connected hosts.
Detailed explanation-3: -When a router receives a packet, the router checks its routing table to determine if the table lists the destination address in the header. If the table does not contain the destination address, the router forwards the packet to another router that is listed in its routing table.
