What are Internet gateways, and how are they useful?

 

[meenakshi]

Internet gateways are devices or services that connect a private network to the internet, acting as entry and exit points for data. They manage traffic, provide security, and enable communication between networks.

 

[Nikhil Rajoria]

Internet gateways refer to hardware that makes your local network accessible to the internet (the combination of a modem and a router). They allow sharing of the internet access and protocol translation between various networks.

Internet gateways are devices or systems that connect a private network to the internet, acting as a bridge between local devices and external networks. They manage data traffic, provide security through firewalls, and often include features like NAT (Network Address Translation) and IP address management. Internet gateways are useful for controlling and securing internet access, enabling communication between internal and external networks, and ensuring efficient data routing in both home and enterprise environments.
