  • В – means that the route destination is a broadcasting address. Such 'broadcast routes' exist in the routing buffer only.
  • I – indicates that the route is connected to a ring (loopback) interface for a purpose other than to access the ring network. Such 'internal routes' exist in the routing buffer only.
  • ! – means that datagrams sent to this address will be rejected by the system.
• Metric – determines route 'price'. Metrics allows you to sort the duplicate routes, if they are exist in the table.
