Can anyone answer this?

Aren't bridges used for communication from one protocol to another (i.e.
TCP/IP to Novell IPX for exmpl) ?

Yes, traditionally the term bridge was used for protocol

But for example, IP does not work for deep space, so how
would you transition telemetry onto local storage network?

Bridges are like so totally last year. You can like tunnel everything
now and it looks so much better from an aesthetic point of view. Like.

Good point. Ever since the DEW system became legacy, NASA must be using
