While examining a router's routing table, which component determines how IP addresses are matched to routes based on the number of significant bits in the address?
Administrative Distance
Next Hop
Metric
Network Mask
The Network Mask specifies the number of bits used for the network portion of an IP address. It defines the range of IP addresses encompassed by a route, allowing the router to match destination IP addresses to the correct network. This mask is essential for the router to determine which bits to consider when making forwarding decisions. The next hop indicates the forwarding address for the packet, the metric represents the cost associated with the route, and the administrative distance indicates the trustworthiness of the route source.
