Bridge Mode
If your ISP limits access to the Internet to specific computers, this means
that traffic to/from these computers only will be forwarded. In this case,
Bridge Mode is used to connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one
Internet account and limit only one computer to access the Internet.
Check with your ISP to determine if this mode is used for your Internet
connection.

constrained delay and delay variation, such as voice and video
applications. The consistent availability of a fixed quantity of
bandwidth is considered appropriate for CBR service.
