What can be a gateway as shown in the output of command `route`?
In the output of route -n, there is a column named "gateway".
What can be a gateway?
I thought a gateway between two networks is a device manually designated to be a gateway, out of several devices connected to both networks.
But now I wonder whether a gateway between two networks is just any device
with two network interfaces connected to the networks respectively, and
with a routing table allowing packets to be transmitted from a network to the other (Is it correct that every device in network(s) has a routing table?)
?
Thanks.
