Routers On the Network Continued
Devices send packets to the router so that the router can determine which network should receive the packet.
The router first removes the Network Interface information (OSI Data Link layer header).
Then, the router analyzes the Internetwork layer (OSI Network layer) information, specifically the destination IP address.
The router references its routing table to determine which of its interfaces is connected to the destination network.
The router then rebuilds the Network Interface layer information with the appropriate format for the destination network.
