I know two facts about routing tables: (1) They are definitely needed by a
router; (2)  They can be shown with netstat -rn command.  I am not sure
whether a normal host that is not configured as a gateway (TCP/IP gateway
== router, right?) should have a routing table.  Anyway, my machine (not a
router) does display a small routing table with "netstat -rn".

So is a routing table needed for a normal host that is not a router?  Why?

Thanks for any help.
