In a routing table, which component specifies the IP address to which the router forwards a packet on its way to the destination?
Administrative distance
Next hop
Gateway of last resort
Metric
The correct answer is 'Next hop'. In a routing table, the 'next hop' indicates the IP address of the next router where the packet should be sent. This guides the router in forwarding the packet towards its final destination. 'Administrative distance' refers to the trustworthiness of a route, 'Metric' is a value used to determine the best path among multiple routes, and 'Gateway of last resort' is a default route used when no specific route to the destination is found.
