[networking] Network bridging is the action taken by network equipment to create an aggregate network from either two or more communication networks, or two or more network segments. Bridging is distinct from routing which allows the networks to communicate independently as separate networks. A network bridge is a network device that connec...[programming] In computer science, bridging describes systems that map the runtime behaviour of different programming languages so they can share common resources. They are often used to allow `foreign` languages to operate a host platform`s native object libraries, translating data and state across the two sides of the bridge. Bridging con...
