Hi,

what is 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ??
It is a default route where all the unknown traffic will go throug this route. Like say when you access internet (google.com or any) will go through this route only.

Please rate the helpfull posts.

Hi,

Every packet its destination IP address is not on the routing table will be routed to the interface specified on the default route (0.0.0.0/0).

An excellent example, is the Internet traffic, as mentioned above.

Best regards,
