In a routing table entry, which component defines the boundary between the network and host portions of an IP address?
Next hop
Metric
Network mask
Administrative distance
The network mask specifies which bits of an IP address are part of the network portion, determining the size of the network. It is essential for routers to accurately route packets to their destination networks. The next hop indicates the immediate router to which packets should be forwarded, the metric represents the cost of a route, and the administrative distance shows the trustworthiness of the route source.
