Hello Jibrail,

For a start run unix command "man netstat" there are many references to routing tables in here.
"netstat -r" will show current routing tables.

On a side note, if you are troubleshooting routing issues traceroute will definitely come in handy. Like marrow said, "netstat" is the command to issue, I normally do a "netstat -rn" because it doesn't try to resolve the host names.

Hope this helps.

hmmm.
there is also a new tool named iproute2, which works great under linux:
ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iproute2-current.tar.gz

for example,below command is equivalent to netstat -rn:
[root@claude root]# ip route show
10.167.34.0/24 via 10.167.34.26 dev eth0 scope link
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default via 10.167.34.254 dev eth0

and iproute2 still has a more powerful function.
