A router has the following entries in its routing table:
If the router receives a packet destined for IP address 10.0.1.45, which next-hop IP address will the router choose to forward the packet?
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
192.168.1.254
The router selects the route with the longest prefix that matches the destination IP address. In this case, 10.0.1.0/24 is the most specific route matching 10.0.1.45, as it has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This means the router will forward the packet to the next-hop IP address 192.168.1.3. The other routes are less specific and therefore not chosen:
