What information does the next hop entry in a routing table identify?

The first router in the path to the destination network.
The next hop router is the first (or next) router in the path to the destination network. Each router looks at the destination network in the packet, then consults the routing table to identify the next hop router to the destination network.
The hop count identifies the numbers of routers in the path to the destination network. A default gateway router is a router that is used for packets used to external networks. Most routers do not have a default gateway setting, but instead use a default route setting which identifies the next hop router for all unknown networks.

A router that uses the RIP routing protocol has an entry for a network in the routing table It then receives an update with another entry for the same destination network but with a lower hop count?
it will append the update information to the routing table

next hop address
How can you identify a unit rate or constant of proportionality a table?
Divide an entry for one variable in the table by the corresponding entry for the other variable.
What is Difference between static and dynamic routing tables?
Technically, there is no such thing. The routing table has several entries (think of them as lines); the individual LINES in the routing table can be static or dynamic; and the routing table in its entirety can have both types. A static entry is programmed (hard-coded) by a network administrator. A dynamic entry is one which the router learns from a routing protocol, such as RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, etc. The routers "talk" to one another, and tell one another that they have routes to certain networks; the router that receives such updates will update its routing table as a result. Such entries are temporary, and expire after a relatively short time.
What type of routing uses information that is manually entered into the routing table?
what type of static route does the administrator configure
What is routing table?
A routing table has columns for at least three types of information, Network ID, the Cost and The ID of the next Router called Next Hop.
