AThe duplicate address
BThe delivery advice
CThe download amount
DThe destination address
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The destination address
1. A switch does not broadcast to every port the way a hub does.
2. It must know where the packet is meant to go.
3. The switch extracts the destination address from the packet and looks it up in a table.
4. So the answer is the destination address.
