OK. I think we were talking about apples and oranges here. What you call
a "Circuit Relay" is just an "Application Gateway" and has nothing to do
with circuits ;-) I must keep up with the new jargon, I guess...

But, having all these terminologies (which mostly is just a marketing
attempt to make things more interesting) confuses me, when I read emails
saying a "Circuit Relay" is a "bridge" or a "dumb proxy".

Let's just call things uniquely what they are... We're not trying to sell
something here, are we?
