Routing
- Stop Broadcast
- Find best possible path to destination
- Moving unicast traffic between network
Router Facts
- Routers only know about connected networks
- Default route acts as catch-all
- In case of multipleroutes, the more specific route (higher subnet mask)will be selected by router to select the best path
- 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 going to f0/1
- 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.128 going to f1/1
- If these are the two entries in routing table,
- then A PACKET DESTINED FOR 192.168.1.1 will go to f1/1
