Explanation / Answer

Interface List: It contains values thatindicate which network interface is used to forward the IPpacket.

Active routers contain information about therouters that are connected in the network currently. It containsvarious columns like,

Network Destination - This column lists all thenetwork IDs or destinations corresponding to the route.

Netmask - The Netmask column provides thesubnet mask of the segment that is used to match a destination IPaddress to the network ID

Gateway - The gateway tells the router which IPaddress the packet should be forwarded through in order to reachthe destination network.

Persistent Routers are the routers that areavailable but not currently in use.

Metric- A number used to indicate the cost ofthe route so that the best route among possible multiple routes tothe same destination can be selected. A common use of the metric isto indicate the number of hops to the network ID.
