bridge

A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model, and the term layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably with bridge. Bridges are similar to repeaters or network hubs, devices that connect network segments at the physical layer, however a bridge works by using bridging where traffic from one network is managed rather than simply rebroadcast to adjacent network segments. In Ethernet networks, the term "bridge" formally means a device that behaves according to the IEEE 802.1D standard-this is most often referred to as a network switch in marketing literature.

Gateway

The DNS is not the only one required to accomplish the connection to the server. Before it actually contacts the DNS, the client computer needs to know the door to get out. That door is known as gateway. Without the gateway, the connection will not be possible. The computer may actually look for the default local host, but the local host (127.0.0.1) is not the correct path to get out. That is the reason that whenever you declare values to the net card it needs to know all this information.

What is a packet gateway?

A packet gateway is a network device that serves as a point of entry and exit for data packets in a communication network, particularly in mobile networks. It facilitates the routing of data between different network segments, such as from the internet to a mobile device, and can also handle tasks like data encapsulation, protocol conversion, and security functions. By managing the flow of packets, it ensures efficient communication and connectivity across diverse network architectures.


Which type of bridge would be used to connect an ethernet segment with a token ring segment?

You will need a router. Token Ring and Ethernet refer to two different layer two protocols. You will need a layer three device to encapsulate the data for communication between the two networks. A bridge refers to a layer two device.
