Didn't get: Pretty much got them!.
Didn't get: Were can I find information on configuration of router?.
One minute response: It depends on the kind of router you're dealing with, and the kind of configuring you want to do. Searching the web should get you started.
Didn't get: Can you give an example how to do application tunneling?.
One minute response: I'll see if I can come up with one.
Didn't get: Would like to more about the schema in XML.
One minute response: I'm afraid XML schemas are a bit off the client-server syllabus. Perhaps I can make up a SOAP-XML-RPC example that involves a bit of the schemas.
Didn't get: I didn't get what exactly the difference between routers and gateways.
One minute response: From one point of view (the IP point of view) there is no difference. To draw a distinction, you can think of gateways as smaller, special purpose routers.
Didn't get: When we need gateway and when we need to use tunneling. Can you give an example and explain the difference of that.
One minute response: Gateways exist between networks; when a packet to move from one network to another, you need to use gateways. When you need to move a foreign packet through a network, you can use tunneling.
Didn't get: Difference between tunneling and translation is confusing.
One minute response: Depending on how it's implemented, tunneling may or may not change the payload packet; translation always changes the payload packet.
Didn't get: Maybe some encapsulation diagrams will help understand better.
One minute response: O.k. In the meantime, any networking book will show you how IP encapsulation works at the endpoints.
Didn't get: Differentiation between tunneling and gateways.
One minute response: Tunneling works within a network; gateways work between networks.
