■ Static routing
Static routing is a special type of routing that can be applied in a network to reduce the problem of routing
selection and data flow overload caused by routing selection so as to improve the packets forwarding speed. You
can set the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to specify a routing rule. The destination IP address
and subnet mask determine a destination network or host to which the router sends packets through the gateway.
