Internet Protocols Questions
The role of a gateway in internet protocols is to act as a bridge or intermediary between different networks, allowing communication and data transfer between them. Gateways are responsible for routing data packets between networks with different protocols, formats, or addressing schemes, ensuring compatibility and seamless connectivity. They also provide security by filtering and monitoring incoming and outgoing traffic, as well as performing network address translation (NAT) to enable multiple devices to share a single public IP address.
