| Mar 27, 2019 at 13:12 | comment | added | Tim | In the following scenario, is my laptop used as a gateway? My laptop is connected to a wifi network, and there is also a network for all the loopback interfaces. The default routing table doesn't seem to route traffic from the wifi network to the loopback network or the other way round. | |

| Mar 27, 2019 at 12:47 | comment | added | Tim | (1) "The device meets the minimum requirements to be a gateway", do you mean any gateway has to at least satisfy the two conditions that I listed? (2) in "but I would say if you’re not using it as a gateway, then it’s not a gateway", what do you mean by "using it as a gateway" ? | |
