Digital Bridging

[KD2SPF]

I have been searching the web for a complete picture on how digital “bridging” works.  Seems to be mode specific, There’s a lot of information available but none that provides a clear picture soup to nuts. Some sites talk about running software(DV4mini or DVSwitch) and others talk about servers(YSF-Reflectors, XLX) or both with server’s running AllStar node and DVSwitch, and pointing to MMDVM gateways. Then there are the black holes like WiresX.  I think this is a good starting point and I feel this is a wonderful place to dump this information.

You're absolutely right. There is endless information but it's all very much hodge podge all over the place. It would, indeed, be interesting to either find an overview or create one.
