Passerelle (informatique)

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 and can operate at any of the seven layers of the open systems interconnection model (OSI). The term gateway can also loosely refer to a computer or computer program configured to perform the tasks of a gateway, such as a default gateway or router, and in the case of HTTP, gateway is also often used as a synonym for reverse proxy. It can also refer to a device installed in homes that combines router and modem functionality into one device, used by ISPs, also called a residential gateway. A network gateway provides a connection between networks and contains devices, such as protocol translators, impedance matchers, rate converters, fault isolators, or signal translators. A network gateway requires the establishment of mutually acceptable administrative procedures between the networks using the gateway. Network gateways, known as protocol translation gateways or mapping gateways, can perform protocol conversions to connect networks with different network protocol technologies. For example, a network gateway connects an office or home intranet to the Internet. If an office or home computer user wants to load a web page, at least two network gateways are accessed—one to get from the office or home network to the Internet and one to get from the Internet to the computer that serves the web page. On an Internet Protocol (IP) network, IP packets with a destination outside a given subnetwork are sent to the network gateway. For example, if a private network has a base IPv4 address of 192.168.1.0 and has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then any data addressed to an IP address outside of 192.168.1.0–192.168.1.255 is sent to the network gateway. IPv6 networks work in a similar way. While forwarding an IP packet to another network, the gateway may perform network address translation.

Internet layer

The internet layer is a group of internetworking methods, protocols, and specifications in the Internet protocol suite that are used to transport network packets from the originating host across network boundaries; if necessary, to the destination host specified by an IP address. The internet layer derives its name from its function facilitating internetworking, which is the concept of connecting multiple networks with each other through gateways.

Équipement d'interconnexion de réseau informatique

Les équipements d’interconnexion d'un réseau informatique sont les briques constitutives des réseaux informatiques physiques. L’interconnexion des réseaux c’est la possibilité de faire dialoguer plusieurs sous réseaux initialement isolés, par l’intermédiaire de périphériques spécifiques (récepteur, Concentrateur, pont, Routeur, Modem), ils servent aussi à interconnecter les ordinateurs d’une organisation, d’un campus, d’un établissement scolaire, d’une entreprise. Il est parfois indispensable de les relier.

Box Internet

Une box internet, boitier multiservice ou passerelle domestique est un équipement informatique servant d'interface entre Internet et le réseau domestique. Elle est fournie par le fournisseur d'accès à Internet. Elle associe à minima une passerelle (par exemple un modem ADSL ou un terminal fibre) et un routeur (filaire ou wifi) et peut inclure des fonctionnalités complémentaires (téléphonie, serveur de stockage, centre multimédia...).
