Chapter Summary Continued
If the destination is attached to a segment that is local to the router, the router delivers the packet directly to its MAC address.
Otherwise, the router forwards the packet to a router that can deliver the packet.
Routing tables can be created manually and dynamically.
Network administrators manually create static routing tables. A manual table requires more administrative overhead, but gives the administrator greater control over the routing process.
Dynamic updates are provided via routing protocols. The routing protocols allow the routers to be updated automatically.
