# Route Table

A Route Table in Google Cloud defines how network traffic is directed within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). It contains a set of routes that determine the path packets take based on destination IP addresses. Each VPC network has its own system-generated route table, and custom routes can be added to control traffic flow between subnets, to the internet, or to on-premises networks.
