Explanation

A routing table operates at Layer 3 and stores the information a router needs to forward packets. Each entry includes the destination network, subnet mask, the next-hop IP address or outgoing interface, the administrative distance, and the metric. IP protocol numbers appear in IP packet headers (not routing tables), broadcast addresses are not routing entries, and TCP/UDP port numbers are Layer 4 constructs that routers do not consult when making forwarding decisions.
