How are network terms deciphered?

Question

Computer networks

Interested in decoding at the household level the following terms:

• Bridging
  
• Traffic termination
  
• Network Convergence
  
• Network switching
  

Answer 1

1. Connect with a bridge, connect (from bridge - bridge)
2. Receiving traffic at the end point (from termination - completion, hence the "terminal stage")

Answer 2

Bridging - connecting two L3 interfaces (for example, on a server) into one L2 domain
Traffic termination - the place where the L3 interface (gateway for the network) is configured
Convergence - how long will it take for the network to rebuild to a backup route (L2 or L3)
