The maximum number of IPv4 router addresses that can be listed in the record route (RR) option field of an IPv4 header is _________.
Correct Answer: A
Question 30 Explanation:
A record route option is used to record the internet router that handles the datagram. It can be used for debugging and management purpose.
In IPv4 header, 40 bytes are reserved for OPTIONS.
For Record Route to stores, 1 byte is used to store type of option, 1 byte for length and 1 byte for pointer. Out of 40 bytes, 37 bytes are left.
Each IP4 address takes 32 bits or 4 bytes.
Therefore, it can store at most floor (37/4) = 9 router addresses.
Hence correct answer is 9 router address.
