Packet Tracer Lab 1.4.2.2 Reflection

The name of this Packet Tracer Exploration is "Determine Best Path using Routing Tables". From this, we can infer that the lab is going to be about how routers determine the most efficient path using the information available in their routing tables. In this lab, the goal of the activity is to explain the purpose of the routing metrics in deciding which path is best. The activity was very simple and basically all we had to was answer a few questions regarding the use of routing metrics in determining the best path. The first thing I was told to do in the instructions was access the CLI on R2 and then see the routing table. Using the routing table, I was able to answer the questions posed in the lab.
