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

changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric

 

value indicated in the update and enters the network in the routing

 

table.
