| Nov 28, 2012 at 4:52 | comment | added | rubixibuc | One more quick question, is the subnet mask stored in the routing table entries as well, how else would it know where the hosts are | |
| Nov 28, 2012 at 4:47 | comment | added | AJed | It uses both. A router needs routing tables to know its neighbor routers. It cannot know all routers in the Internet, so it route to the closest routers. It is a really big domain. Asking such questions will make surf deep in that ocean ! | |
| Nov 28, 2012 at 4:45 | comment | added | rubixibuc | :-) Thanks. Does the Internet still use routing tables to find the right path or does it just use the subnet mask, how are these related? | |
