What steps are taken when forwadin an icmp packet?

For each router, the following steps occur: 1) The "access-group in" command is checked on the interface, and discards the packet if the rule tells it to do so. 2) The "TTL" field is decreased by 1. 3) If TTL is now 0, the router discards the packet and sends a reply packet back to the sender. 4) The packet's IP address is compared to the routing table to determine the next hop of the packet. 5) The router advises if the network or host is unreachable due to a down interface or no known route. 6) The router sends the packet to the outgoing interface's queue to be sent to the next hop. 7) The "access-group out" command is checked on the interface, and discards the packet if the rule tells it to do so. 8) The router sends the packet to the next hop.
