Are you refering to a specific routing > protocol (like BGP) or a biblical reference? :-) It's a biblical reference. In the Internet Architecture, there are two sorts of network nodes: hosts and gateways. Gateways may run a routing protocol, forward packets, send ICMP redirects, and otherwise, well, route. Hosts may do none of these things. What the Internet pioneers called a `gateway' is what is now called a `router'. (What is now called a `gateway' was to them a `mailbridge'.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
