12.1 Routing Table
This page displays the device core routing table which lists
destination IP, 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 a router to select an
optimal path, i.e. routing algorithm. To complete this work, the
router stores and maintains related data of various transfer paths,
i.e. establishing a routing table, for future route selection.
