Note on Bridging
When bridging is enabled, your Prestige forwards any packet that it does not route. Without
bridging, the packets that the Prestige does not route are simply discarded. Compared to routing,
bridging generates far more traffic for the same network protocol and consumes more CPU cycles
and memory.
