Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -When a router receives a packet, the router checks its routing table to determine if the destination address is for a system on one of it’s attached networks or if the message must be forwarded through another router. It then sends the message to the next system in the path to the destination.
