Chuck,
OK, I'll bite. In this case all three devices would have to be bridges.
For example, if Device 1 received a packet sent by Host A addressed to Host
B and ip routing was turned on then, since they are on the same subnet,
Device 1 would reasonably expect Host B to be on the same connected subnet
as Host A and would not take any action to route the packet.
