Hi all,
I have one question, why do we need the "Gateway" field in routing
tables, if we know to what interface the packets should be
sent??? Am I right when thinking that if the computer is not a
gateway then it uses routing table only for outgoing packets and
if the computer is a gateway it uses this (routing) table for both
types (incoming/outgoing) of packets???
Please help me, thanks - Ed.
