If both networks use the same protocol, my advice is to use a
bridge and the traffic will be optimized. If these two networks use
different protocols in the same last
layers (OSI) will be necessary to use a gateway.
If the network is not large, a machine running UNIX will work fine like
bridge or gateway.
