what do you mean by gateway?

Answer Posted / raj

A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to
another network. On the Internet, a node or stopping point
can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node.
Both the computers of Internet users and the computers that
serve pages to users are host nodes. The computers that
control traffic within your company's network or at your
local Internet service provider (ISP) are gateway nodes.
