Bridges primarily operate at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model and use MAC (Media Access Control) addresses to forward data frames between different network segments. By analyzing the MAC addresses in the Ethernet frames, bridges can determine whether to forward or filter traffic, thereby reducing collisions and improving overall network performance. They do not use IP addresses, which operate at Layer 3, and are primarily concerned with local network traffic.

How do bridges and switches dynamically create their table?

Bridges and switches learn and filter MAC addressses into memory over time thereby creating a table of Mac addresses. Bridges build a memory table of MAC addresses they get from segments. Switches build tables based on switch port numbers to MAC addresses instead of segment numbers.

Which one had more overhead a router or a bridge?

a. Routers are more expensive than bridges. b. Routers operate at the first three-layers; bridges operates at the first two layers. Routers are not designed to provide direct filtering the way the bridges do. A router needs to search a routing table which is normally longer and more time consuming than a filtering table. c. A router needs to decapsulate and encapsulate the frame and change physical addresses in the frame because the physical addresses in the arriving frame define the previous node and the current router; they must be changed to the physical addresses of the current router and the next hop. A bridge does not change the physical addresses. Changing addresses, and other fields, in the frame means much unnecessary overhead.
