Is there a limit on number of nodes Gateway can support?
If you mean "is there some sort of licensing limit"? the answer is no. The Gateway software does not enforce any sort of node limit.
There will be some physical limit to how many nodes a single PC can supervise, which will depend on both the quantity and size of messages to and from the nodes, and the frequency with which they must be used.
These parameters are application dependent, you will have to experimentally determine where this limit is for your application.
For extremely large numbers of nodes, you may have to use multiple channels, network IDs, and/or Portal/Gateways.
