Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

What forwards data packets to the right computer?

A	Router
B	Internet
C	Ethernet Cable
D	Clock

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A packet is typically forwarded from one router to another router through the networks that constitute an internetwork (e.g. the Internet) until it reaches its destination node.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which information is used by routers to forward a data packet toward its destination? The destination IP address is the IP address for the receiving device. This IP address is used by routers to forward the packet to its destination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most packets are forwarded based on the packet’s IP destination address, along with routing information held within the router in a routing table. A router does not by default forward a packet with an IP broadcast address. Protocols using broadcast packets normally only operate within a single broadcast domain.
