It's where the traffic goes if it cannot go to one of the routes you have 
defined already. For most small nets that means everything off site.

Use:-
sudo route

to see the contents of the table.

Use:-
sudo route -n

if your name resolution is not working.

For my machine it looks like this:-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use

csnet           *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 
eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         kerberos.csnet  0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0

Sorry about the lines being screwed up by the mail user agent.
