Longest Prefix Matching 편집하기 (부분)

==Overview==
Longest Prefix Matching ensures that packets are routed along the most specific path available, providing better accuracy and efficiency in packet delivery. This method is fundamental to the operation of routers in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

For example, given the following routing table:
{| class="wikitable"
!Destination Network!!Prefix Length!!Next Hop
|-
|192.168.0.0||16||Router A
|-
|192.168.1.0||24||Router B
|-
|192.168.1.128||25||Router C
|}If a packet is destined for 192.168.1.129, the router selects the route with the prefix length of 25 (192.168.1.128/25) as it is the most specific match.
