what do you mean by gateway?

Answer Posted / vivek.rautela

A network gateway is an internetworking system capable of
joining together two networks that use different base
protocols. A network gateway can be implemented completely
in software, completely in hardware, or as a combination of
both. Depending on the types of protocols they support,
network gateways can operate at any level of the OSI model.
