644 PointsI need a simple way of remembering what a Routing Table is and what it does please?
I've watched the video twice and my 3 year old woke up from his nap and started singing and making weird nosies so this could be the reason why I'm struggling but I got the routing table question wrong twice and I rewatched the video both times. Please help. Many thanks.
