The path of last resort for a router is the default route that is used when the router cannot find a specific route in its routing table for a given destination. It is typically configured to direct packets to a gateway of last resort, often leading to an internet Service Provider (ISP). This ensures that traffic can still be routed even if no explicit path exists for a particular destination, allowing for basic connectivity in broader networks. In IPv4, the default route is usually represented as 0.0.0.0/0.
