Best Answer

The routing table acts like a map for a router. It stores the different routes that a signal has taken to get from one point to another. It stores the information about pings, fixes, stalls and errors that fall into the static route file. The routing table can be extremely helpful in determining the shortest route for a signal as well as being able to have it auto-fix errors when encountered in the future.
