Each packet contains information about its origin and destination. When a packet is received, a network device examines the packet and matches it to the routing table entry providing the best match for its destination.
Destination: The IP address of the packet’s final destination. The destination can be an IP address or a class-based, sub-netted, or super-netted network ID. Gateway: The IP address to which the packet is forward. Netmask: Includes directly-attached subnets, indirect subnets that are not attached to the device but can be accessed through one or more hops, and default routes to use for certain types of traffic or when information is lacking.
