data intelligently. If it cannot determine which of these devices provides a good next hop (because no such route has been defined), then that device will forward the data to its default gateway. Eventually, a high level device, using a predefined IP route, will be able to forward the data along a path to its destination.

All IP-enabled computers and routers maintain a table of IP addresses that are commonly accessed by their users. For each of these destination IP addresses, the table lists the IP address of the first hop the data should take. This table is known as the device’s routing table.
