  • The following is not that relevant but As a side note, Funnily enough there might almost be a similar thing with the terms Bridge and "Network switch". Both are L2. But Bridge might suggest just two ports. Whereas switch has more than2. Both do "switching"/"bridging". One other distinction though between the terms bridge and switch.. is maybe4 a bridge a network medium might b different or potentially different. And another side note, there's a term flying around at one point of "layer 3 switch". That's an abuse of the term switch. It's a router. IIRC there was some marketting issue there
