As more nodes are added to an Ethernet segment, use of the media increases. Ethernet is a shared media, which means only one node can transmit data at a time. The addition of more nodes increases the demands on the available bandwidth and places additional loads on the media. This also increases the probability of collisions, which results in more retransmissions. A solution to the problem is to break the large segment into parts and separate it into isolated collision domains.
To accomplish this, a bridge keeps a table of MAC addresses and the associated ports. The bridge then forwards or discards frames based on the table entries in the Cloud Hosting or a Website Hosting that has a Dedicated Server on it.
