Answer
A gateway is a network device that connects dissimilar networks. It establishes an intelligent connection between a local network and external networks with completely different structures.
In enterprises, the gateway is the computer that routes the traffic from a workstation to the outside network that is serving the Web pages. In homes, the gateway is the ISP that connects the user to the Internet.
