What is the difference between 802.3 bridging and 802.11 bridging?
A. A bridge is a device that connects two or more networks. The bridges can be separated with the media type they are connected with. If two wired networks are bridged together, then these are called 802.3 bridging while those which bridges the wireless network with the wired network are called 802.11 bridges. 802.3 frames differs in format and length that those of 802.11 frames. In order to communicate between them, there should be a translation of frame from one format to another. Translation is usually done by the access point.
