netstat:tldr:c85b6

The command "netstat -r" is used in networking to display the routing table on a computer. The "netstat" utility is available on most operating systems, including Linux, Unix, and Windows.

Here is a breakdown of the command and its parameters:

• "netstat" is the command itself, which stands for "network statistics."
• "-r" is a parameter or option that is used to indicate that we want to display the routing table.

When you run this command, the output will show a list of routes known to the computer. Each entry in the routing table provides information about destination networks, network masks, gateway addresses, interface names, and metric values.

This information is helpful for understanding how a computer connects to different networks and determines the best path for data packets to travel between networks. It can also be used for troubleshooting network connectivity issues and diagnosing network routing problems.
