Destination network: The address of the remote network and how that network is connected. Outgoing interface: Identifies the exit interface to use when forwarding packets to the destination network.

Detailed explanation-3: -A directly connected network is a network that is directly attached to one of the router interfaces. The network address and subnet mask of the interface, along with the interface type and number, are entered into the routing table as a directly connected network.

Detailed explanation-4: -Next-hop – This identifies the IP address of the next router to which the packet would be forwarded.
