In a router's routing table, what does the 'Next hop' indicate?
The MAC address of the destination host
The administrative distance for the route
The IP address of the next router along the path to the destination
The destination IP address of the final recipient
The 'Next hop' specifies the IP address of the next router along the path to the destination network. It tells the router where to forward the packet next. It is not the destination IP address of the final recipient, which is the ultimate endpoint. The MAC address of the destination host is related to Layer 2 forwarding, not Layer 3 routing decisions. The administrative distance is a value that rates the trustworthiness of the route source, not the forwarding path.
