When a packet is sent from a source to a destination, it follows a route known as a path. The path is typically determined by the network’s routing table, which contains entries for each node in the network. Each node along the path forwards the packet to the next node until it reaches its destination. At each node, the packet is examined to determine if the packet is destined for the node itself or for another node. If the packet is destined for the node itself, it is processed, and then sent to the next node. If the packet is destined for another node, the node will forward it to the next node on the path. The packet continues to hop from node to node until it reaches its destination, where it is processed and then sent back to the source.
