The final entry of the week for chapter 11…the “definitions” at the end.
default route – the gateway of last resort, 0.0.0.0/0. The route used when no other route matches in the routing table
route redistribution – injecting routes from one routing protocol into another
external route – a route learned from outside a routing protocol via redistribution
aggregate route – a summary route

IP prefix list – a list of IP prefixes that can be used to match networks that will be redistributed or filtered
summary route – a route that in a single advertisement covers multiple smaller routes that would have been advertised otherwise
