The programs on gateway computers that determine the best path on which to send each packet contain rules called _____.
A) program profilers
B) empirical algorithms
C) software profilers
D) routing algorithms

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is D as the programs on gateway computers that determine the best path on which to send each packet are known as routing algorithms. Option A and C, program profilers and software profilers, respectively, are not related to network routing. Option B, empirical algorithms, may be used for various purposes in computing, but without further context, it cannot be identified as specifically related to routing on gateway computers.
