- The bridge of a ship is an area or room where the ship's navigational controls and other essential equipment related to ship operations are housed and operated. It is so called because it once was a bridge between paddlewheel housings on either side of early steamboats. This new vantage point was deemed so convenient that it was retained after the paddlewheels were superseded.

- ----A bridge is a device for supporting the strings on a stringed instrument and transmitting the vibration of those strings to some other structural component of the instrument that amplifies the sound. Most stringed instruments produce their sound through the application of energy to the string, which sets them into vibratory motion. The strings alone, however, produce only a faint sound because they displace only a small volume of air as they vibrate. ...

- A bridge is a multi-homed host that operates at layer 2 of the OSI model. Bridges connect two networks, usually of the same type. A bridge is somewhat smarter than a simple repeater, in that it can make decisions about moving data from one network to the other. Some bridges even reach up into layers 3 and 4 (traditional router and gateway territory) to add even more intelligence; these smarter devices are sometimes called "brouters."

If the packet is bound for another segment, the bridge passes the packet onto the network backbone.
