6.3 Routing Table
A routing table contains the information necessary to forward a packet along the best path toward its
destination. Each packet contains information about its origin and destination. When a packet is received,
a network device examines the packet and matches it to the routing table entry providing the best match
for its destination. The table then provides the device with instructions for sending the packet to the next
hop on its route across the network.
Field Description Default value
Destination
The IP address of the packet’s final destination
The destination can be an IP address or a class-based, sub netted,
or super netted network ID.
192.168.1.0
Gateway
The IP address to which the packet is forwarded 0.0.0.0
Netmask
Includes directly-attached subnets, indirect subnets that are not
attached to the device but can be accessed through one or more
hops, and default routes to use for certain types of traffic or when
information is lacking.
