How OCI Route Tables Control Network Traffic

Introduction

Route tables play a critical role in directing traffic inside an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure network.
They determine how network packets travel between resources and external networks.

What is a Route Table?

A route table contains rules that specify where traffic should be directed.

Each rule typically includes:
• Destination CIDR block
• Target gateway
Why Route Tables Matter

Route tables enable:
• Internet connectivity
• Communication between subnets
• Secure network architecture

Conclusion

Understanding route tables is essential for designing efficient network architectures in OCI.
