Assume Computer A wants to send a network packet to Computer J$.$ For the point to

point transmission, how does the network stack on Computer A determine where to send

the ethernet frame?

a$)$ It always sends the frame to the default router or default gateway.

b$)$ It compares the MAC addresses of Computer A and Computer J using the

netmask. If the network portions match the frame is sent directly to Computer J$,$

otherwise the frame is sent to the default router or default gateway.

c$)$ Computer A sends an ARP request to Computer J$.$ Computer J will send a

response telling Computer A the MAC address of the router that should be used

for the frames.

d$)$ It compares the IP addresses of Computer A and Computer J using the netmask.

If the network portions match the frame is sent directly to Computer J$,$ otherwise

the frame is sent to the default router or default gateway.
