>This document describes how to setup an ethernet bridge. What
|
|
is an ethernet bridge? An ethernet bridge is a device that controls data
|
|
packets within a subnet in an attempt to cut down the amount of traffic.
|
|
A bridge is usually placed between two separate groups of computers that
|
|
talk within themselves, but not so much with the computers in the other
|
|
group. A good example of this is to consider a cluster of Macintoshes and
|
|
a cluster of unix machines. Both of these groups of machines tend to be
|
|
quite chatty amongst themselves, and the traffic they produce on the
|
|
network causes collisions for the other machines who are trying to speak
|
|
to one another. A bridge would be placed between these groups of
|
|
computers. The job of the bridge is then to examine the destination of
|
|
the data packets one at a time and decide whether or not to pass the
|
|
packets to the other side of the ethernet segment. The result is a
|
|
faster, quieter network with less collisions.</P
