Basics of Routing
When we talk about routing protocol, first thing that comes in our
mind is routing.
Routers are used for routing. Every packet has two address;
source and destination. Router uses destination address to
deliver the packet
All remote requests are sent to the default gateway. Default gateway
is the router that switches packets between different networks
Network layer handed down this packet to Data link layer. Data
link layer appends header, It adds source and destination MAC
address in header and FCS in tail. After this modification packet
becomes frame.
Exit interface uses ARP protocol to find the MAC address of destination
host. It converts packet in frame by attaching header and tail. In
header it adds its MAC address in source MAC address field and
destination hosts MAC address in destination MAC address field.
All devices in collision domain receive these signals. PC1 also receives
these signals. It converts signals in frame.
Frame has its MAC address in destination MAC address field. So it will
pull packet from frame and hand over the packet to network layer.
