Parameter	Description

Flags	Indicates the route status:
	C = Direct connection on the same subnet.
	S = Static route.
	R = RIP (Routing Information Protocol) assigned route.
	I = ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Redirect route.
Network Address	Destination IP address.
Netmask	The subnetwork associated with the destination.
	This is a template that identifies the address bits in the
	destination 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.
