Question
In a network, a data packet is received by a router for transmitting it to another network. In order to make decisions on where the data packet should be forwarded, the router checks with its routing table. Which of the following lists does a router check in a routing table?

- BAvailable packets
- CAvailable protocols
- DAvailable paths

Explanation
A Routing table stores the actual routes to all destinations; the routing table is populated from the topology table with every destination network that has its successor and optionally feasible successor identified (if unequal-cost load-balancing is enabled using the variance command). The successors and feasible successors serve as the next hop routers for these destinations. Unlike most other distance vector protocols, EIGRP does not rely on periodic route dumps in order to maintain its topology table. Routing information is exchanged only upon the establishment of new neighbor adjacencies, after which only changes are sent. Answer: C is incorrect. A routing table does not contain any list of protocols. Answer: B is incorrect. A routing table does not contain any list of packets.
