Hm. Ja znam najmanje jedan primer gde je ovo veoma netačno (recimo FlexWAN modul za Cisco 6500), tako da ne bi možda bilo loše da pogledaš definicije u nekoj drugoj literaturi ili makar da daš malo širi kontekst u kojem se javlja ta rečenica ...

Workgroup switches add more intelligence to data transfer management. Not only can they determine whether data should remain on a LAN or not, but they can transfer the data only to the connection that needs that data. Another difference between a bridge and switch is that a switch does not convert data transmission formats.
