Talk:Gateway (telecommunications)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
how we can define the gateway ip in the network?
Hmm. Gateways usually have two ip addresses. One, an address like 192.168.1.100, or 192.168.1.1 is an address on the Local network, and is the adress to which traffic is sent from the Local Network. The other, an address like 207.132.81.20, is the address (ususally assigned by an ISP) on the Widea Area Network.
So, define the gateway ip in the network. In the LAN, the gateway ip is that address to which traffic bound for the WAN is sent to be conveyed out. In the WAN, the WAN ip address is the address to which traffic is sent to be distributed in the LAN.
[edit] Gateway, Inc. disambiguation removal

- These may or may not be manufactured by Gateway, Inc.
I had put it there in order not to imply that gateways are named after Gateway nor vice versa. If your PC is made by Gateway, and your router is made by Linksys, then which "gateway" is the tech support representative talking about? [1]
- How should I have worded my clarification better? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 00:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge proposal
I'd probably have merged them myself, but I'd like someone with more experience to determine how the uses of the terms overlap and how (or if) they should be merged. Fourohfour 13:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Could someone with knowledge please also verify if the older version of Gateway (computer networking) is (as Jatos asserts) inaccurate, or not. Thanks. Fourohfour 18:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
