In this networking video, I’ll explain the difference between a gateway and a proxy but also illustrate the purpose behind routers and switches in the process. I’ll execute an HTTP GET request and follow its on-wire representation across multiple networks. Follow timestamps for the 3 examples I'll use.

In the first example, I will send an HTTP GET request to a device in the same network, the second example will send the request to an external server, and the final one will send the same request but through a proxy.
