Information travelling between two computers over the Internet will always take the same path.
|
|
|
Your router receives all the traffic of the Internet and delivers to your computer only the messages intended for you.
|
|
|
There is one router which receives and redirects all the traffic of the Internet.
|
|
|
A packet travelling between two computers on the Internet may be rerouted many times along the way.
|
|
|
A packet contains addressing information to allow routers to decide how best to forward along that packet towards its destination.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol, or set of rules, for routing and addressing packets of data so that they can travel across networks and arrive at the correct destination.
Detailed explanation-2: -RIP uses a distance vector algorithm to decide which path to put a packet on to get to its destination. Each RIP router maintains a routing table, which is a list of all the destinations the router knows how to reach.
Detailed explanation-3: -The default gateway address is used to forward packets originating from the switch to remote networks.
Detailed explanation-4: -Routing protocols such as the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) are used to communicate with other routers and may end up “installing” routes in the routing table for use by the routing process.
