A Transparent Bridge is a networking device that connects different segments of a local area network (LAN) while operating at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It transparently forwards data packets based on MAC addresses, allowing devices on different segments to communicate as if they are on the same network. This helps reduce network traffic and improve performance by dividing large networks into smaller, more manageable segments. Transparent bridges are often used in Ethernet networks to extend the range and efficiency of communication.
