The Gateway of Last Resort is the network path taken if there is no more specific route to the destination.

Let's say that your routing table knows how to get to the 10, 11, and 12 networks. Suddenly, you send a packet to the 13 network. Where does it go?

It goes to the Gateway of Last Resort.

I like the term "default route" better.
