In reply to boethius.

The usage of the term router is rather confusing for me in the original ANS of point 7, and also in this comment. The router means originally a network entity that terminates the OSI layer 4 and selects the desired route for the information element.

The gateway, however, terminates higher layers and in some cases OSI layer 7 (e.g. ALG). It is no question that the physical devices may combine several functionalities over different layers, e.g. a residential gateway has a bridge, switch, router, and gateway functions, and are called commonly routers. Network routers are also called in some paper switches.

I would suggest to keep the layering at least in tutorials clean and let’s call things what they are.
