|
The host has no routes available for forwarding packets.
|
|
|
This is a route for testing local communication.
|
|
|
Destinations without a specified route are forwarded to the gateway.
|
|
|
The host does not have an IP address configured.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -This indicates that the gateway to reach the corresponding destination subnet is unspecified. This generally means that no intermediate routing hops are necessary because the system is directly connected to the destination.
Detailed explanation-2: -If it says 0.0. 0.0 on the Local Address column, it means that port is listening on all ‘network interfaces’ (i.e. your computer, your modem(s) and your network card(s)).
Detailed explanation-3: -The 0.0 0.0 designation has multiple meanings, but in the context of IP routing, 0.0 0.0 refers to when a data packet does not specify the destination subnet it needs to be forwarded to. It generally means that the data packet doesn’t have any more different remote routers to hop across.
