1. gateway

   A gateway is a hardware device or software program that serves as a bridge or access point between two different networks, often enabling communication and data transfer between incompatible systems. It acts as an entry and exit point for data, translating information between different protocols or formats if necessary. Gateway is often used in the context of internet networks, where it routes data packets from a device to the internet and vice versa. It also provides security measures to protect the network's data and prevent unauthorized access.

1. Gateway

   In telecommunications, the term gateway has the following meaning: ⁕In a communications network, a network node equipped for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols. ⁕A gateway may contain devices such as protocol translators, impedance matching devices, rate converters, fault isolators, or signal translators as necessary to provide system interoperability. It also requires the establishment of mutually acceptable administrative procedures between both networks. ⁕A protocol translation/mapping gateway interconnects networks with different network protocol technologies by performing the required protocol conversions. ⁕Loosely, a computer or computer program configured to perform the tasks of a gateway. For a specific case, see default gateway. Gateways, also called protocol converters, can operate at any network layer. The activities of a gateway are more complex than that of the router or switch as it communicates using more than one protocol. Both the computers of Internet users and the computers that serve pages to users are host nodes, while the nodes that connect the networks in between are gateways. For example, the computers that control traffic between company networks or the computers used by internet service providers to connect users to the internet are gateway nodes.
