What is a gateway?
A gateway is a computer that lies at the intersection of two networks, and routes traffic correctly from one traffic to another, while keeping traffic internal to the two networks seperated. Our gateway, a Cisco 3640 router, lies at the border between cyberstation.net, Qwest, and Cable & Wireless. It correctly routes your traffic bound for the internet out to its destination, while keeping traffic meant for within cyberstation on the cyberstation.net side of the router. Same for Qwest and C&W.
