Gateway A Gateway is a piece of networking hardware that separates two networks allowing data to pass between them. In IP net- works a Gateway is usually assigned during configuration so that the workstation sending data knows whether or not to send the data directly to a local computer, in the case of a LAN, or to the Router or GateWay in order to be passed on to other...
