Route
A logical delivery path between two IP networks or hosts. When a specific path for a particular network or host does not exist, packets being sent to that host or network are delivered using the sender's default route, which is also known as the default gateway. The routing table is used to hold all the routes (that is, delivery paths) known by a host and can be displayed from the Command Prompt window using the "route print" command. Static routes to particular hosts or networks can be set in the registry using the "route add -p" command. Full command syntax for the route command can be displayed using "route -help".
