Final answer:

A router's routing table includes a Default Route, a Direct Route, and a Remote Route, therefore the answer is 'All of the above'. The destination port in the TCP or UDP header indicates what service is being requested, which is used to direct the incoming packet to the correct application.

Step-by-step explanation:

The items that can be found on a router's routing table include:

  • Default Route: A path that network traffic will follow when no specific route to a destination is known by the router.
  • Direct Route: A route to a network that is directly connected to one of the router's interfaces.
  • Remote Route: A route to a network that is not directly connected to the router but can be reached through another router.

So the correct answer is D. All of the above.

The purpose of the destination port in the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) header of the Transport Layer is to indicate which application/service on the destination computer should handle the incoming packet. The destination port effectively tells the destination what service is being requested, allowing for proper communication between software applications over a network.

Therefore, the correct response for the second question is C. Tell the destination what service is being requested.
