How Internet Works
Internal Network
The packet goes from device 44:55:66 to the switch.
The switch will extract from layer 2 the mac address.
The switch will check its CAM table and forward the packet to Device dd:ee:ff.
External Network
The packet goes from device 44:55:66 to the switch.
The switch will extract from layer 2 the mac address.
The switch will check its CAM table and forward the packet to the router.
The router will extract from layer 3 the destination IP address.
The router will check its routing table and forward the packet to the next node.
The packet now has the source IP of the router's external IP.
Now the routing process will take place until arrived at the final node before the destination.
The final node will extract from layer 3 the destination IP address.
The router will check its routing table and forward the packet to the final node (destination).
The destination will receive the packet and extract from it the source IP and the data.
