linux 命令route add default dev eth0和route add default gw eth0的区别？

本机以太网卡eth0的IP地址为手动配置：
网关IP地址为192.168.1.1/24

#ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0  
#route add default dev eth0             //默认路由，将去往未知网络的数据包全部从接口eth0发出去
测试结果为ping外网失败；
[root@localhost ~]# netstat -rn

但是，如果我不写默认路由出接口，而是直接下一跳，却可以ping通外网！
如下：
#route del default dev eth0         //删掉刚才配的静态路由
#route add default gw 192.168.1.1       //写默认路由的下一跳地址
现在ping外网却通了！

那么为什么 route ...dev eth0不行？而route ...gw eth0却可以呢？
原理上这两条命令应该是等价的阿！
