We have a network of three computers. Note that each computer is on a different network. Host A wants to communicate with Host B and sends a packet with Host B’s IP
address (10.0.0.20) to the default gateway (the router). The router receives the packet, compares the packet’s destination IP address to the entries in its routing table and finds a
match. It then sends the packet out the interface associated with that network. Only Host B will receive the packet. In fact, Host C will not even be aware that the communication
took place
