The routing information table is updated statically or dynamically.
Large networks contain many possible routes to each destination. A
router performs the following steps to find the best route toward a
destination:
If one route requires the lowest number of tiks, the router selects it as
the best route.
If multiple routes require the same lowest number of tiks, the router
selects the route that requires the lowest number of hops as the
best route.
If multiple routes require the same lowest number of tiks and hops,
the router may select any of them as the best route.
