Routers do not change the destination IP address when forwarding packets.
The destination IP remains the same to ensure the packet reaches the intended recipient.
Router’s Role:
Routers inspect the destination IP, determine the best path using routing tables, and forward the packet accordingly.
Conclusion:
The destination IP address remains unchanged; hence, the statement is FALSE.
