A bridge is a multi-homed host that operates at layer 2 of the OSI model. Bridges connect two networks, usually of the same type. A bridge is somewhat smarter than a simple repeater, in that it can make decisions about moving data from one network to the other. Some bridges even reach up into layers 3 and 4 (traditional router and gateway territory) to add even more intelligence; these smarter devices are sometimes called "brouters."
