address used for routing to specific subnets. Each bit that corresponds
to a “1” is part of the subnet mask number; each bit that corresponds
to “0” is part of the host number.
Gateway The IP address of the router at the next hop to which frames are
forwarded.
Interface The local interface through which the next hop of this route is
reached.
Metric When a router receives a routing update that contains a new or
changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric
value indicated in the update and enters the network in the routing
table.
