DHCP:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol; DHCP servers can dynamically design
an IP address and other parameters to DHCP clients, on request.

Gateway:
This is a machine that works like a -> Router. In contrast to the router, a
gateway can also route data packets from different hardware networks.

addresses connected to a port and directs the traffic more efficiently to the
individual ports.
