Question

Assume the network adopts another routing protocol in which, the primary metric is the link speed (the highest is the best) and the number of hops is used as a tie break to choose between two routes to the same destination with the same speed. Complete the routing table of R1 shown below using the new metric.(Hint: if the route consists of multiple links with different speeds, the route net speed equals to that of the slowest link in the route )

The answer I have is:

Destination      

Next hop

Speed

10.10.10.0

----

100 Mbps

30.30.30.0

R3

100 Mbps

40.40.40.0

R3

100 Mbps

50.50.50.0

R6

100 Mbps

70.70.70.0

R6

100 Mbps

Is this correct?

Destination      

Next hop

Speed

10.10.10.0

----

100 Mbps

30.30.30.0

R3

100 Mbps

40.40.40.0

R3

100 Mbps

50.50.50.0

R6

100 Mbps

70.70.70.0

R6

100 Mbps

Explanation / Answer

your table is correct if you are taking source as R1 i.e 10.10.10.10 in all the cases. but when you take 30.30.30.30 as a destination and if you want to go to 40.40.40.40 the hop would be R8. you considered it to be R3 beacuse your source is 10.10.10.10. this is what I understood from your table.
