This whole deal MIGHT work if I have multiple gateways.
A big part of the problem here is there are a bunch of unknowns (like what does a box do with packet XYZ destined for IP address A.B.C.D if he doesn’t have any idea of where A.B.C.D is?
Does he just toss it over to the Gateway and say “not my problem...”
See what I mean, there is alot of default actions that I’m not sure of.
BTW, I had my first comp job in 1076. And it wasn’t data entry...
;-)
See reply # 23, how it works is defined very well there.
It uses the subnet mask to decide if the address is on the “local” network or a remote network. If it is not on the local network, it sends it to the DEFAULT gateway.
Did you have to learn French from the Normans in order to find work?
