Chapter 5. Configuring IP Routing

IP networks, including home networks, enterprise intranets, and the Internet, consist of a series of interconnected routers. Routers forward traffic to computers, to other routers, and finally to a destination computer. At the most basic, client computers send all communications through a single router known as the default gateway. If you connect multiple routers to a single subnet, however, you might need to configure more complex routing for computers on the subnet. Additionally, computers running Windows Server 2008 R2 can act as routers.
