If it's on link, it's not being routed anywhere. It still is a route, as in, an entry in the local computer's routing table.
In IP, routing means connecting to other networks. In fact, that was the original purpose of the Internet. Way back in the dark ages, there were a lot of different network types, such as Ethernet, token ring, ARCNet, DECNet, SNA, IPX and more. They couldn't talk to each other. The goal of the Internet was to provide some means to tie them together. So, right from the start, if you were using IP, then you were very likely connecting between networks. Conversely, routing is not used when connecting among devices on the local LAN. If you can read the MAC address for another device, you're not routing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
