5.4. ROUTING

5.4.1. Static Routes

This menu shows all routing entries of the system. They are typically formed by an
address/netmask couple (represented in IPv4 dotted decimal notation) which specify
the destination of a packet. The packets can be directed to either a gateway or an
interface or both. If interface is set to ANY, the system will choose the route interface
automatically, depending on the best matching network configured for an interface.
In general, host routes precede network routes and network routes precede default routes.
Additionally, a metric can be used to determine the priority of a route, a packet will go
in the direction with the lowest metric in case a destination matches multiple routes.
Netmasks can be specified in CIDR notation (i.e. /24 expands to 255.255.255.0).
Destination: The destination address of a packet
Netmask: The subnet mask which forms, in combination with the destination, the net-
work to be addressed. A single host can be specified by a netmask of 255.255.255.255,
a default route corresponds to 0.0.0.0.
Gateway: The next hop which operates as gateway for this network (can be omitted on
peer-to-peer links)
