Routing algorithms specify that when multiple routes to the same destination exists, the route that will be used is the more specific one. So, a /24 will be used instead of an existing /23 or /16 in your case. This is why the default gateway is the "last resort" gateway it a /0 network, which means all destinations. Hope it helped on your routing understating. Regards, Rui > > My thinking, flawed as it is, is: > 1. Both hosts have known routing tables that allow them to communicate. > 2.
