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.
