Bridge
A device that retransmits packets from one segment of the network to
another segment.
A router, on the other hand, is a device that receives instructions for
forwarding packets between topologies and determines the most efficient
path.
See also: “Router.”
Browse right
An object right that grants the right to see an object in the Directory tree.
See also: “Rights.”
Browsing
A way of finding objects in the Directory.
Objects in the Directory are in hierarchical order. Since the Directory can be
very large, it can be difficult to remember an object’s location.
Rather than trying to remember an object’s location, you can browse up or
down the Directory tree and view different parts of the Directory to find the
object you want.

Example: To find object PRINTER3 when you aren’t sure where it is, look at
objects in your current context.
