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
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 ...
Reserved for future use (formerly "Class E" [5]). 255.255.255.255 is reserved for "limited broadcast" destination address. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] List of assigned /8 blocks to commercial organisations
IP forwarding algorithms in most routing software determine a route through a shortest path algorithm. In routers, packets arriving at an interface are examined for source and destination addressing and queued to the appropriate outgoing interface according to their destination address and a set of rules and performance metrics.

The columns Network destination and Netmask together describe the Network identifier as mentioned earlier. For example, destination 192.168.0.0 and netmask 255.255.255.0 can be written as 192.168.0.0/24. The Gateway column contains the same information as the Next hop, i.e. it points to the gateway through which the network can be reached.
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]
