Hi
I have a question related to forwarding information base(FIB).

Depending upon destination IP address a packet can be
a) for this machine
b) for a machine to which this machine is directly connected
c) for a machine to which this machine is not directly connected.

Does FIB contain the entries for delivery for all the 3 cases or only for
the third case

Thanks in advance for all the help

Manoj

hello,

It is for all the three cases.
It also contains for the case in which it does not match any one of them
that is the default entry.


Warm Regards,
