Bridge device is similar to a router, but it does not analyze the data being forwarded. Because of this, bridges are typically fast at transferring data, but not as versatile as a router. For example, a bridge cannot be used as a firewall like most routers can. A bridge can transfer data between different protocols (i.e. a Token Ring and Ethernet network). A router on the other hand are like traffic police, they exam each packet of data, get the destination address and forwards it thru the network to the correct address.
