9.4.10.2 Setting up a Hybrid Bridging Mode
Watson enables you to bridge certain bandwidth-consuming and traffic-sensitive
LAN hosts, such as IPTV Set Top Boxes, directly to the WAN. Such a network
connection scheme does not interfere with Watson's routing mode, in which all traf-
fic usually passes through the NAT, and is checked by the firewall. These two
modes can work simultaneously together.
