World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Understanding How Routers Make Routing Decisions

The video tutorial explains how routers make routing decisions using routing tables. It provides multiple examples of routing decisions based on different IP addresses and masks, demonstrating how routers determine the next hop for a packet. The tutorial concludes with a brief introduction to dynamic routing protocols.
