Industrial smart gateway and industrial router What is the difference between

What is the difference between the characteristics of an industrial smart gateway and an industrial router

　　The relationship between gateway and routing is expressed as: gateway is the basis of network connection, and routing is the bridge of network connection.

　　 The same: Both of them are common hardware facility owners. They connect the owners of different subnets in the network to forward data packets;

　　Different: Industrial gateways are connected to different networks. Hosts on both sides can communicate through the gateway. Industrial gateways work in the application layer.

For example, the switch is used as the next IP of the VLAN interface. This IP is also a gateway, called an industrial gateway, and is mainly a single IP; an industrial router is carried out by sending data packets, and the router works as a device in the network layer, dividing the wide area IP The role of address. When doing the switch VLAN, a three-layer routing is made. This routing configuration setting IP address is the gateway or industrial gateway, the most common gateway in the Ethernet, after degradation, we are also called routers, mainly to distribute and set the IP address.

　　 Gateways are divided into two types: transmission gateways and application gateways. The main role is to act as a conversion task. It is essentially an IP address from a network to other networks.

　　The main role of the router is to connect different networks and transmit information. According to the usage, it can be divided into: access, enterprise level, backbone level, terabit, multi-WAN and 4G wireless.

　　 The gateway can be a router, a switch or a PC. To communicate within the same network segment, there is no need to intervene the gateway. Only when the host is communicating with a device other than this network segment, it is necessary to send all the data packets to the gateway device, and then forward through the gateway device or There are routing processing and so on.

　　 Router is a network layer system. Routers are generally divided into two categories in the current market. One is a single-protocol router and the other is a multi-protocol router. The router can convert the data format and become a necessary device different from the network interconnection between protocols.
