<p>## Scenario</p>
<p>A Hyperledger Fabric network channel can constantly change.  The peer, orderer
and CA components, contributed by the different organizations in the network,
will come and go. Reasons for this include increased or reduced business demand,
and both planned and unplanned outages. A gateway relieves an application of
this burden, allowing it to focus on the business problem it is trying to solve.</p>
