2. Default gateway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

   In a home or small office environment, the default gateway is a device, such as a DSL router or cable router, that connects the local network to the Internet. It serves as the default gateway for all network devices. Enterprise network systems may require many internal network segments. A device wishing to communicate with a host on the public ...

3. Gateway address - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_address

   The gateway is on the same network as end devices. The gateway address must have the same subnet mask as host devices. Each host on the network uses the same gateway. The gateway should have a static address, as changing the address would cause packets not to be delivered. The gateway is typically assigned either the highest or lowest network ...

4. First-hop redundancy protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-hop_redundancy_protocol

   A first hop redundancy protocol (FHRP) is a computer networking protocol which is designed to protect the default gateway used on a subnetwork by allowing two or more routers to provide backup for that address; [1] [2] in the event of failure of an active router, the backup router will take over the address, usually within a few seconds.

5. Network address translation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

   If a packet is sent to 203.0.113.1 by a computer at 192.168.1.100, the packet would normally be routed to the default gateway (the router) [e] A router with the NAT loopback feature detects that 203.0.113.1 is the address of its WAN interface, and treats the packet as if coming from that interface. It determines the destination for that packet ...

6. Gateway (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(telecommunications)

   A gateway is a piece of networking hardware or software used in telecommunications networks that allows data to flow from one discrete network to another. Gateways are distinct from routers or switches in that they communicate using more than one protocol to connect multiple networks [1] [2] and can operate at any of the seven layers of the OSI model.

7. Static routing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_routing

   Static routing may have the following uses: When using static address configuration (in the absence of DHCP or Router Advertisements) it can be used to provide a default route, forming a special case of the longest prefix match as it has a prefix length of zero and therefore always matches, and always matches last.
