What is the reserved address block for default routing?

The reserved address block for default routing is typically the address 0.0.0.0/0 in IPv4. This block is used to specify that a packet should be forwarded to the default gateway when there is no specific route for the destination address. In IPv6, the equivalent is ::/0. Default routing is essential for directing traffic outside of a local network when no more specific route exists.

What contact does IPv4 make with the destination before sending a packet?

Before sending a packet, IPv4 establishes contact with the destination by using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to map the destination IP address to a MAC (Media Access Control) address on the local network. If the destination is on a different network, IPv4 sends the packet to the default gateway, which is determined by the subnet mask. The packet includes the destination IP address, and the network layer handles routing it through the appropriate paths until it reaches the destination.

When a computer gives itself an auotmatic private ip address apipa it also includes a valid default gateway address?

When a computer assigns itself an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address, it typically does not include a valid default gateway address. APIPA is used when a device fails to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, allowing it to communicate with other devices on the same local network segment. The assigned IP address falls within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, but without a default gateway, the device cannot access external networks, such as the internet.
