gateway
       The term "router" is now used in place of the original definition
       of "gateway".  Currently, a gateway is a communications
       device/program which passes data between networks having similar
       functions but dissimilar implementations.  This should not be
       confused with a protocol converter.  By this definition, a router
       is a layer 3 (network layer) gateway, and a mail gateway is a
       layer 7 (application layer) gateway.  See also: mail gateway,
       router, protocol converter.

  router
       A device which forwards traffic between networks.  The forwarding
       decision is based on network layer information and routing tables,
       often constructed by routing protocols.  See also: bridge,
       gateway, Exterior Gateway Protocol, Interior Gateway Protocol.

per layer si intendono il livelli dello stack iso/osi
