What is the difference between LEGS and RTE data?

The proper term in a Boeing is the CDU. The RTE pages represent the flight plan, for example “waypoint, airway, waypoint.” The only waypoints you see are either the DIRECT TO or the entry and exit to an airway. The LEGS pages do not show the airways; rather, each fix or waypoint along the route is listed in order with the predicted speeds and altitudes. They are about the same thing but are very different in their presentation.
