    Destination: Network destination of the route; mask Netmask: The netmask (subnet mask) associated with the network destination; Gateway: The forwarding or next hop IP address over which the set of addresses defined by the network destination and subnet mask are reachable; metric Metric: Integer cost metric (ranging from 1 to 9999) for the route

  4. IP routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_routing

    In order to achieve a successful transfer of data, the algorithm uses a routing table to select a next-hop router as the next destination for a datagram. The IP address of the selected router is known as the next-hop address. [1] The IP forwarding algorithm states: [2] Given a destination IP address, D, and network prefix, N:

    The DHCP client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message on the network subnet using the destination address 255.255.255.255 (limited broadcast) or the specific subnet broadcast address (directed broadcast). A DHCP client may also request an IP address in the DHCPDISCOVER, which the server may take into account when selecting an address to offer.

  6. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    A special definition exists for the IP address 255.255.255.255. It is the broadcast address of the zero network or 0.0.0.0, which in Internet Protocol standards stands for this network, i.e. the local network. Transmission to this address is limited by definition, in that it is never forwarded by the routers connecting the local network to ...

  8. Default route - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_route

    The network with the longest subnet mask or network prefix that matches the destination IP address is the next-hop network gateway. The process repeats until a packet is delivered to the destination host, or earlier along the route, when a router has no default route available and cannot route the packet otherwise.

  9. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    All receivers capture the network packet. The address 255.255.255.255 is used for network broadcast. In addition, a more limited directed broadcast uses the all-ones host address with the network prefix. For example, the destination address used for directed broadcast to devices on the network 192.0.2.0 / 24 is 192.0.2.255. [24]
