Question 21
A router has the following CIDR routes in its routing table:
172.16.0.0/12 -> Interface A
172.16.0.0/16 -> Interface B
172.16.32.0/20 -> Interface C
0.0.0.0/0 -> Interface D
Where will a packet with destination IP 172.16.40.1 be forwarded?
Longest Prefix Match Rule: 172.16.40.1 matches /12 (A), /16 (B), /20 (C since 40 is in 32..47 range), and /0 (D). The longest matching prefix is /20 (Interface C).
