Thanks for your reply
Just want to clarify what I meant.
When I said that static route gives us faster traffic
transmission, it meant that static route's
administrative distance is 1, which is lower than
other dynamic routing protocols' administrative
distance.
Can I say this?
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in adv.
