And I m not going to tell you how to build a bridge on the River Kwai although I may in an upcoming sequel. Naturally I ll be playing William Holden s part after I shed a few pounds. Instead this chapter is about bridging two or more networks. Huh A bridge is software or hardware that connects two or more different networks together.
