Yep, agreed, Bart. There's lots of different "design embodiments" for this new class of gear, and part of the "confusion" that this can cause is there is no standard lexicon or terminology for them. So, this is one of those potentially exasperating conundrumns where the answer is: it depends.

For example, is it a "streamer" or a "network bridge". Or, not?
