Static Routing A router or gateway is a hardware device that forwards packets from one logical network to another. IP uses a routing table to determine which networks that packets can be forwarded to and will only forward them to networks that it has been configured to do so.
RIP This is a continuation of the routing discussion, but now we will be focusing on dynamic routing which uses the Routing Information Protocol(RIP). RIP measures the distance from source to destination by counting the number of hops(routers or gateways) that the packets must travel over.
