routable

Able to path

Routable describes something that can be directed along a path or route.

In networking, a routable address can be reached across the internet, as opposed to local addresses that work only within a private network.

In logistics and travel, routable roads or paths can be included in navigation calculations: The GPS found a routable alternative around the closure.
