In the following routing table entry, where will a packet addressed to 10.0.4.66 be handled?
10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 4 subnets
C 10.0.1.0 is directly connected Serial 0
R 10.0.2.0 via 10.1.6.1 Serial 1
R 10.0.4.0 via 10.1.6.1 Serial 1
C 10.0.6.0 is directly connected Serial 1
0uuu
Sent out Serial 0
To determine where a packet addressed to 10.0.4.66 will be handled, we need to analyze the given routing table entry.
According to the given entry, we have two routes that can potentially handle this packet:
1. C 10.0.1.0 is directly connected Serial 0
2. R 10.0.4.0 via 10.1.6.1 Serial 1
To decide between these routes, we need to consider the Longest Prefix Match rule. This rule states that the routing table entry with the longest matching prefix will be chosen to handle the packet.
Comparing the destination IP address 10.0.4.66 with the routing table entries, we see that the second entry, R 10.0.4.0 via 10.1.6.1 Serial 1, has a longer prefix match with the destination address compared to the first entry.
Therefore, a packet addressed to 10.0.4.66 will be handled by the router at 10.1.6.1 via Serial 1.
To determine where a packet addressed to 10.0.4.66 will be handled based on the given routing table entry, we need to examine the entries and their corresponding routes.
In the provided routing table entry, there are four subnets within the 10.0.0.0/24 network:
1. C 10.0.1.0 is directly connected Serial 0
2. R 10.0.2.0 via 10.1.6.1 Serial 1
3. R 10.0.4.0 via 10.1.6.1 Serial 1
4. C 10.0.6.0 is directly connected Serial 1
Each entry is identified by a prefix and a route type:
1. The prefix "C" denotes a directly connected network, meaning that the router is connected directly to the specified subnet. In this case, the router is directly connected to the 10.0.1.0 network via Serial 0.
2. The prefix "R" denotes a remote network, indicating that the router needs to forward packets destined for this network to another router. In this case, the router needs to forward packets for the 10.0.2.0 network and the 10.0.4.0 network to the next hop address 10.1.6.1, which is reachable via Serial 1.
3. The prefix "C" again denotes a directly connected network, meaning that the router is directly connected to the 10.0.6.0 network via Serial 1.
Based on this information, we can conclude that a packet addressed to 10.0.4.66 will be handled by forwarding it to the next hop address 10.1.6.1 via Serial 1.
