API Gateway vs Service Mesh

Which statement best distinguishes an API gateway from a service mesh?
Options
  1. 1They are identical in purpose, since both simply route traffic between the services
  2. 2The gateway handles north-south client traffic; the mesh handles east-west service-to-service traffic
  3. 3The mesh only works with REST clients while the gateway handles all of the gRPC traffic
  4. 4The gateway replaces mTLS so that services no longer need any transport security at all
