Explanation:
An application-level gateway operates at all levels of the OSI model. It is too high in the level to provide NAT, NAT has to be provided at a lower layer through a different service.
Note: An application-level gateway is often called an application-proxy gateway.
Sometimes it is referred to as a proxy gateway.
