9.1Show Routing Table

This page displays the router's core routing table which lists destination IP
address, subnet mask, gateway, hop count and interface.
The principal task for a router is to look for an optimal transfer path for
each data packet passing through it, and transfer it to the specified
destination. So, it's essential for the router to select an optimal path, i.e.
routing algorithm. To complete this work, the router stores related data of
various transfer paths, i.e. establishing a routing table, for future route
selection.
