a.255.255.255.255/32
b.127.0.0.0/8
c.0.0.0.0/0
d.169.254.0.0/16

The default route is written as 0.0.0.0/0, matching any destination not covered by a more specific route. It directs otherwise-unmatched traffic to a next hop, often the internet gateway. This is commonly called the gateway of last resort.
