Unsourced article, seemingly WP:NN neologism in the context of computer networking.

While the article makes a vague reference to the IEEE Networking Technology Glossary, none of the versions of this text I've been able to access seem to include it. (I couldn't get access to the 2015 version, however)

The article is unsourced and in an effort to source it, I'm coming up with nothing. There are plenty of references to stringed instrument bridges, and a few other areas, but I've been unable to find anything having to do with computer networking.

If the only use of this term is that glossary, it seems like the article should go. Toddst1 (talk) 13:32, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete my guess is that the glossary was just for the term "bridge" which is a widely accepted concept. This article seems a good faith attempt at describing something the author thought was useful at the time. However, the content comes from single-purpose account Special:Contributions/Rkjulian from 2007. Fourteen years later, the term never caught on, but technology has advanced. Good catch.

Delete As the author, I agree with the deletion. My company has installed a number of systems in this configuration, but even we have changed the nomenclature and don't use this term any longer. Rkjulian (talk) 13:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
