- Fact:
- When a router
transmit
an IP packet to
the destination (= IP5):
the router must use:
- The physical address (= B) of the destination (= IP5) in the Ethernet frame !!!
- When a router
transmit
an IP packet to
the destination (= IP5):
- I have deliberately
omitted
the following detail
to keep the
discussion
simple:
- How does the
router know
the physical address
of a
destination (= IP5)
???
(This information is not stored in the routing table)
- How does the
router know
the physical address
of a
destination (= IP5)
???
- We will answer this
question
later in the
Section on the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
