**________** is also known as protocol convertor.

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. A **gateway** is a network device that connects two different networks which may use different protocols.

2. It acts as a **protocol converter**, translating data from one protocol to another, enabling communication between heterogeneous networks.

3. Other devices like **hub**, **bridge**, and **switch** operate at lower layers of the OSI model and do not perform protocol conversion:
   - **Hub**: Works at physical layer, simply repeats signals.
   - **Bridge**: Works at data link layer, connects segments of a network.
   - **Switch**: Also works at data link layer, directs data to specific devices within a network.
