GATEWAY HAVING BYPASSING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gateway having a bypassing apparatus capable of forming at least physical communication path between networks through the gateway even if the gateway cannot support a normal communication mode, so as to secure the reliability of the gateway. SOLUTION: The gateway for enabling mutual data communication between two or more networks by connecting the networks and enabling data communication therebetween is provided with the bypass apparatus, which forms a bypass path between the two networks to enable data communication between the networks when the gateway does not support a normal data communication mode.
