Network Gateways And How They Work

To put it simply, a network gateway is a type of hardware device that is used to connect numerous networks that employ different types of network protocols or file types. For example, a gateway device can connect a company's intranet to the internet, or two intranets with different protocols can be linked together. Essentially, gateways act as translators, translating communication from one protocol to another. This allows devices on separate networks to connect with one another despite the fact that they speak different languages.

A network gateway typically has two or more network interfaces, one for each network that it connects. When a packet arrives at a gateway, the gateway examines the packet header to determine the destination network. If the destination network is different from the network on which the packet arrived, the gateway will translate the packet into the protocol used by the destination network. The gateway will then forward the packet to the destination network.
