Longest Prefix Matching
Consider a datagram network using 8-bit host addresses.
Suppose a router uses longest-prefix matching, and has the following forwarding table:
Question List
1. Suppose a datagram arrives at the router, with destination address 01011011. To which interface will this datagram be forwarded using longest-prefix matching?
2. Suppose a datagram arrives at the router, with destination address 00110000. To which interface will this datagram be forwarded using longest-prefix matching?
3. Suppose a datagram arrives at the router, with destination address 01110101. To which interface will this datagram be forwarded using longest-prefix matching?
Solution
1. Since the address is 01011011, it will go to interface 4.
2. Since the address is 00110000, it will go to interface 5.
3. Since the address is 01110101, it will go to interface 2.
