The first column shows the destination network, the second the router through which packets are forwarded. The U flag indicates that the route is up; the G flag indicates that the route is to a gateway. The H flag indicates that the destination is a fully qualified host address, rather than a network.
The Refcnt column shows the number of active uses per route, and the Use column shows the number of packets sent per route. Finally, the Interface column shows the network interface that the route uses.
