Routing Table
A routing table is like a map used by a device, such as a router, to find the best path for sending data to its destination. It lists different routes, including where to send data based on the destination address. When your device needs to communicate with another device or website, it checks the routing table to determine the most efficient route. This helps data travel quickly and accurately across networks, ensuring information reaches the right place without unnecessary delays. In essence, it's a guide that directs data traffic within a network.
