Bridges and switches operate at the same OSI layer - layer 2. That means they switch packets based on the destination MAC address. A switch is sometimes called a multi-port bridge.A bridge has 2 ports, whereas a switch can have many more than that.
The OSI Model
The application layer.
The data link layer (2nd layer), the network layer (3rd layer) and the transport layer (4th layer) each handle their own specific errors, which should prevent errors in both directions. Any untrapped errors will result in a corrupt transmission which may or may not be handled by the appropriate endpoint, dependant upon the protocol.
