Suppose a router in an organization uses a routing protocol to declare that a given destination is ten hops away when the destination is only three hops away. Is the declaration necessarily an error? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


No, it’s not necessarily an error. It’s usually used for reliability. In case the shortest path to
destination is not available, then an alternative longer route may be used.
