INWG#1: Report of Subgroup 1 on Communication System Requirements by Davies, Shanks, Heart, Barker, Despres, Detwiler, and Riml. They wrote: "It was agreed that interworkingbetween packet switching networks should not add complications to the hosts, considering that networks will probably be different and thus gatewaysbetween networks will be required. These gateways should be as uncomplicated as possible, whilst allowing as much freedom as possible for the design of individual networks". INWG#1 clarified that gateways and simplicity were accepted concepts when INWG was formed.
Routing tables can be created manually and "learned" by software as it observes network traffic, or they can be built according to routing protocols.
The first packet-switching network was implemented at the National Physical Laboratories in the United Kingdom. It was quickly followed by the ARPANET in 1969.

paper dated June 1966 ... introduced the concept of an "interface computer" to sit between the user equipment and the packet network.
Leonard Kleinrock: Donald Davies ... did make a single node packet switch before ARPA did
Then in June 1966, Davies wrote a second internal paper, "Proposal for a Digital Communication Network" In which he coined the word packet,- a small sub part of the message the user wants to send, and also introduced the concept of an interface computer to sit between the user equipment and the packet network.

The system first went 'live' early in 1969
