OLD:
Between the subnet and the ISP access link is a gateway, which may
or may not perform NAT and firewall functions. A key point of this
configuration is that the gateway is typically not "managed". In
most cases, it is a simple "appliance", which incorporates some
static policies. However, there are many cases in which the gateway
is procured and configured by the ISP, and there are also some
common cases in which we find two gateways back to back, one managed
by the ISP and the other added by the owner of the unmanaged
network.

Note that there are also some cases in which we find two
gateways back to back, one managed by the ISP and the other added by
the owner of the unmanaged network. They are not covered in this memo
because most of them either require some management, or the gateway
added by the user can function as a L2 switch.
