Transport Bridge to Extend beyond a Transport

You can use a transport bridge to extend the capabilities of a transport.

For example, in the following diagram, a publisher communicates with several subscribers on a single host computer using a shared memory transport T1. You can communicate with subscribers on other computers across a LAN by configuring a multicast transport T2, and a transport bridge between T1 and T2. The transport bridge must run on the computer that hosts the shared memory segment of T1.
