The Essential Difference Between a Smart Gateway and a RouterA router is a network device that forwards packets from one network to another when they come in through a port.The router reads the address information on the packet and determines the correct destination, and then directs the packet to the next network or the next hop using a routing table or routing policy. A router is a device that can send and receive packets between computer networks and also create overlay networks. On the other hand, gateways join different systems. A gateway it is defined as a network entity that allows one network to interface with another network with different protocols. A gateway acts as a network point and acts as an entry point to another network. A gateway also allows a network to connect computers to the Internet.
