What is a network bridge?

A network bridge is a device or software that connects two or more separate computer networks together, allowing them to communicate and share resources. It operates at the data link layer of the OSI model and forwards data packets between networks based on their MAC addresses. The bridge helps to extend the network by creating a single logical network from multiple physical networks.
