C = Direct connection on the same subnet.
S = Static route.

Network Address

Destination IP address.

Netmask

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

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.
