Common types of routes include:
Dynamic route: Learned from routing protocols like OSPF, BGP, and RIP.
Direct route: Automatically generated when an interface is assigned an IP address.
Static route: Manually configured by administrators to forward traffic to a specific destination.
A blackhole route (B)is not commonly used for forwarding but is instead a special type of route that discards traffic, preventing loops or attacks.
