Question

Computer networks

What she does? What is it for? How it works? Please explain with this example:

Network address	netmask	Gateway address	Interface	Metrics
0.0.0.0	0.0.0.0	192.168.1.1	192.168.1.100	20
127.0.0.0	255.0.0.0	On-link	127.0.0.1	306
127.0.0.1	255.255.255.255	On-link	127.0.0.1	306
127.255.255.255	255.255.255.255	On-link	127.0.0.1	306
192.168.1.0	255.255.255.0	On-link	192.168.1.100	276
192.168.1.100	255.255.255.255	On-link	192.168.1.100	276
192.168.1.255	255.255.255.255	On-link	192.168.1.100	276
244.0.0.0	240.0.0.0	On-link	127.0.0.1	306
244.0.0.0	240.0.0.0	On-link	192.168.1.100	276
255.255.255.255	255.255.255.255	On-link	127.0.0.1	306
255.255.255.255	255.255.255.255	On-link	192.168.1.100	276
