The video tutorial explains the concept of a default route in networking, detailing its characteristics and purpose. It covers how default routes are represented in routing tables, typically marked with asterisks and located at the end. The tutorial also discusses scenarios where multiple default routes are used, such as when a router has connections to multiple ISPs, and how these routes can be configured for failover.
