In a routing table entry, which component specifies the IP address where the router sends packets to reach a particular destination network?
Metric
Administrative distance
Prefix
Next-hop address
The next-hop address indicates the IP address of the immediate router to which packets are forwarded on the path to the destination network. This information is essential for the router to know where to send packets next in order to reach their final destination. The administrative distance measures the trustworthiness of the route, the metric represents the cost associated with the route, and the prefix identifies the destination network but not where to send the packets.
