Packet Tracer Exploration: Routing Table Principles

In this packet tracer activity, I investigated a fully-converged network with connected, static, and dynamic routing. Packets are forwarded through the network on a hop-by-hop basis. I also learned that each router makes an independent forwarding decision based upon the router's knowledge of destination paths. I found out that a router makes  decisions based on the information in the routing table. The fact that one router has a complete routing table does not mean other routers have the same information. Routing information about a path from one network to another does not provide routing information about the reverse or return path.
