What is a Routing Table? How to read IP Routes?

If a routers learns about multiple different paths to the same network from the same routing protocol, a measure called metric is used to decide which route will be placed in the routing table. Just like with the administrative distance, the lower number

A route is selected from the routing table (checked from the command line with "route print") and is the sum of the interface metric and gateway metric. "Active Routes" shows you the summed, functional metrics.

In this guide, we’ll show a few ways to change the network adapter’s metric in Windows, giving you control over which connection takes priority. Windows automatically assigns metrics based on speed, but you can manually adjust them using route

Each Possible path will be assigned as a 'metric' value by the routing protocol which indicates how preferred the path is. Always the lowest metric value is preferred.

Routing - Metric メトリックとは 複数のルーティングプロトコルが動作していて、複数の情報源により得られた宛先ルートが複数ある場合は AD（administrative distance）値に従い、1つの最適な宛先ルートがルーティングテーブルに登録されます。

權值 （英語： Metrics），又稱 路由度量 （routing metric），是 電腦網路 上， 路由 的參數之一，這個參數被用來決定某個特定路徑是否應該被選擇。
