Hey all ..
The good old books classify a Router and a Gateway as two different devices. But sometimes i hear people calling Router a Gateway . So is any device that connects one network to a totally different network called a gateway?. Also the good old books say that the Router works in the network layer. But can we say that routers belong to the network layer because it works in the application layer (IOS) too??. And Finally how is the word router pronounced( i must be nuts! ) " roooter" or "rowter" ??
