[j-nsp] what is differnet between bridge and ethernet-switching ?

[Atif Saleem]

Well using the one word for both of them as bridging sounds good as it
actually is using "bridging protocol" for learn, forwarding, flooding,
filtering, and aging which is what is being done in case of
"ethernet-switching" too. Whether bridging Interfaces or Vlans :).
