A router forwards packets based on its routing table.

Arouterforwards packetsbased on its routing table, which contains different types of routes.

Common types of routes include:

Dynamic route: Learned from routing protocols like OSPF, BGP, and RIP.

Direct route: Automatically generated when an interface is assigned an IP address.

Static route: Manually configured by administrators to forward traffic to a specific destination.

A blackhole route (B)is not commonly used for forwarding but is instead a special type of route that discards traffic, preventing loops or attacks.
