Internet Gateways In Depth

All WinJoes know what an internet gateway is. Many refer to these as IGWs.

But few know gateways in amazing depth. We aim to bridge that gap and confer, dare we say it, in-depth knowledge.

So, we know NAT, or network address translation, is one role of the internet gateway (or IGW henceforth). NAT allows multiple devices to share a single IP address. How this is achieved is via another component called a NAT gateway. So, in some sense the IGW liaises with the NAT gateway.
