Bridge functions the same as the repeater function in a computer network but the bridge is more intelligent than repeaters. Bridge works at OSI layer 2. Bridge can connect a computer network having a different transmission. For example bridges can connect computers using Ethernet Baseband networks and computer networks that use Ethernet Broadband.
Bridge is able to separate a portion of the traffic due to implementation of the frame filtering mechanism. This mechanism is called store and foward. Nevertheless generate broadcast traffic in the LAN Local Area Network can not be filtered by the bridge. Bridge can know each network segment addresses of each computer next to it. Bridge is like a traffic cop at the crossroads of governing during peak hours in computer networks. Bridge can also be used to connect networks that use different cable types or different computer network topology.
