What is Gateway, its types and how it works?

Do you know what this Gateway is? If yes then perhaps you will have full knowledge about it, which is very good thing, but if not then there is nothing to worry because today we will know about this networking device.

By the way, you must have seen the gateway in all our homes, I mean we can compare Gateway in Networking in Hindi with the main gate of our house. Because it is a junction that is used to get someone to go in or out of the network. In the Internet, that node, which is also the stopping point, we call it a host node or a gateway.

This gateway node is called the computer that is used to control and manage a company's network or ISP's traffic and bandwidth. Most ISPs themselves provide gateways to their users in homes so that they can easily connect to the internet.

In simple language, then a gateway in computer network is a kind of entrance, or a point from which the network can be accessed. It is an inter operating system that has the capability to handle many networks at one time. It can be in any form, software or hardware. A gateway node has the function of a firewall or a proxy server in the enterprise network. So today I thought that why should you people be explained about the Gatway in Hindi so that you can understand this networking component easily. So without starting, let's start.

This gateway is a hardware device that acts as a "gate" within two networks. It can also be a router, firewall, server, or any other device that enables traffic to flow in and out of the network.

This gateway is a network node that connects two networks using different protocols. Where a bridge is used to join two similar (similar) types of networks, a gateway is used to join two dissimilar networks.

By the way, these are gateways only, with the help of which we can send data back and forth. This Internet is not at all useful if we do not use gateways, then also many hardware and software cannot be used.

By the way, a gateway protects nodes within the network, in addition it is also a node itself. This gateway node is located at the edge of the network and all the data flows through it which enters or exits the network. In addition, it can also translate the received data that is received from outside networks, into a format or protocol that can be identified by devices within the internal network.
