Please refill router F,E,H,B

Come up with the routing tables for all the routers: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. Host 80.0.0.9 must receive his packets only from router E. All other traffic to network 80.0.0.0 may arrive from other routers. Router I is the router used to access the Internet.

Your routing tables must use the shortest possible route.

Final Answer:

Router A: Direct to 80.0.0.9 through Router E; for other traffic to 80.0.0.0, forward via shortest route.

Router B: Direct to 80.0.0.9 through Router E; for other traffic to 80.0.0.0, forward via shortest route.

Router C: Forward 80.0.0.9 traffic to Router E; for other traffic to 80.0.0.0, choose shortest route.

Router D: Forward 80.0.0.9 traffic to Router E; for other traffic to 80.0.0.0, use shortest route.

Router E: Direct to 80.0.0.9; for other 80.0.0.0 traffic, shortest route.

Router F: Direct to 80.0.0.9 through Router E; for other traffic to 80.0.0.0, forward via shortest route.

Router G: Forward 80.0.0.9 traffic to Router E; for other traffic to 80.0.0.0, shortest route.

Router H: Direct to 80.0.0.9 through Router E; for other traffic to 80.0.0.0, shortest route.

Router I: For external Internet, route via appropriate gateways as needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each router's routing table needs to be configured to ensure that packets destined for host 80.0.0.9 specifically go through Router E while directing other traffic to network 80.0.0.0 via the shortest route available.

For Routers A, B, C, D, F, G, and H, entries for 80.0.0.9 will specify E as the next hop, guaranteeing that packets addressed to that specific host are routed through Router E. For traffic bound to the 80.0.0.0 network (excluding 80.0.0.9), these routers will utilize the shortest route available based on their routing table's entries.

Router E's routing table should have an entry specifically directing traffic for 80.0.0.9 to be addressed directly without passing through any other router. For other traffic to 80.0.0.0, Router E will follow the shortest route.

Router I's routing table needs to be set up to forward traffic to external destinations (Internet) via appropriate gateways, as per the network's configuration, ensuring efficient outbound connectivity.
