The output of "route -n" is the kernel IP routing table. The -n option tells the route to show the IP addresses instead of attempting to show hosts and networks by name.
The route -n command provides details regarding the Kernel IP routing table, displaying information about the destination networks, gateways, netmasks, and routing metrics. The -n option is crucial because it prevents the command from performing hostname resolution, providing faster and more concise information, especially in networking troubleshooting scenarios.
