Netmask The subnet mask which forms, in combination with the des-
tination, the network to be addressed. A single host can be
specified by a netmask of 255.255.255.255, a default route
corresponds to 0.0.0.0.

(can be omitted on peer-to-peer links)
Interface The network interface on which a packet will be transmitted
in order to reach the gateway or network behind it

rics have the effect of making a route less favorable

A The route is considered active, it might be inactive if the interface for this
route is not yet up.
P The route is persistent, which means it is a configured route, otherwise it
corresponds to an interface route.
H The route is a host route, typically the netmask is set to 255.255.255.255.
N The route is a network route, consisting of an address and netmask which
forms the subnet to be addressed.
D The route is a default route, address and netmask are set to 0.0.0.0, thus
matching any packet.
