Structure of an IPv4 Routing Table
An indented entry is known as a child route
A route entry is indented if it is the subnet of a classful (class A, B or C network)
Directly connected networks will always be indented (child routes)
The classful network address of this subnet will be shown above the route entry, less indented, and without a source code
That route is known as a parent route
The child route will include the route source and all the forwarding information such as the next-hop address
