  2. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    A routing table is a database that keeps track of paths, like a map, and uses these to determine which way to forward traffic. A routing table is a data file in RAM that is used to store route information about directly connected and remote networks. Nodes can also share the contents of their routing table with other nodes.

  3. route (command) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_(command)

    In computing, route is a command used to view and manipulate the IP routing table in Unix-like and Microsoft Windows [1] operating systems and also in IBM OS/2 and ReactOS. [2] Manual manipulation of the routing table is characteristic of static routing.

  4. Default route - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_route

    In computer networking, the default route is a configuration of the Internet Protocol (IP) that establishes a forwarding rule for packets when no specific address of a next-hop host is available from the routing table or other routing mechanisms.

  5. IP routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_routing

    Rules are encoded in a routing table that contains entries for all interfaces and their connected networks. If no rule satisfies the requirements for a network packet, it is forwarded to a default route. Routing tables are maintained either manually by a network administrator, or updated dynamically by a routing protocol.

  6. Router (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_(computing)

    Control plane: A router maintains a routing table that lists which route should be used to forward a data packet, and through which physical interface connection. It does this using internal pre-configured directives, called static routes, or by learning routes dynamically using a routing protocol. Static and dynamic routes are stored in the ...

  7. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    The default gateway can be specified by the route command to configure the node's routing table and default route. In a home or small office environment, the default gateway is a device, such as a DSL router or cable router , that connects the local network to the Internet.

  8. netstat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netstat

    In computing, netstat is a command-line network utility that displays open network sockets, routing tables, and a number of network interface (network interface controller or software-defined network interface) and network protocol statistics.

  9. Metrics (networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrics_(networking)

    Routing metrics are configuration values used by a router to make routing decisions. A metric is typically one of many fields in a routing table. Router metrics help the router choose the best route among multiple feasible routes to a destination. The route will go in the direction of the gateway with the lowest metric.
