Routes to use for forwarding data to its destination
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Routing tables of a router keep track of paths, like a map, and uses these to determine routes to use for forwarding data to its destination.
Detailed explanation-2: -These are tables that define how a frame will be forwarded out of a given switch or router in the network. These tables work by matching specific header fields, such as the IP destination address, and when a match occurs, forwarding the frame to a specified egress port.
Detailed explanation-3: -The router uses the information in the IP header to decide whether and where to forward each received packet, and which network interface to use to send the packet. Most packets are forwarded based on the packet’s IP destination address, along with routing information held within the router in a routing table.
