A gateway is a network point—a node—that acts as an entrance
to another network. It is basically a device that allows the
exchange of data by translating between the protocols of two different
networks or computers on the connected networks. In the
case of your residential connection, the gateway is your ISP.
Gateways are different from Bridges in the sense that a bridge only
links LANs together, sending data to another LAN while keeping
local data within its own network.
