| 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 |

| value indicated in the update and enters the network in the routing |
| table. |
