Forwarding and filtering
The bridge makes data forwarding or filtering decisions based on the following scenarios:
• When Host A sends an Ethernet frame to Host C, the bridge searches its bridge table and finds
out that Host C is attached to bridging interface 2, and forwards the Ethernet frame out of
bridging interface 2, as shown in Figure 286.
