Packet forwarding in simple terms is the forwarding of packets from one node to another from networking point of view. For example, a router or a switch. These networking devices make routing devices with the help of their routing tables and then select an outgoing interface. After that they make some changes in the packet header and push (forward) the packet to the selected interface.
In case you don't know the meaning of packet. Packer is the smallest unit of size in networking. Different networks has different packet size. For example, in ATM Networks the packet size is of 53 Bytes.

Do you have to ask permission before forwarding others emails?
Not legally - but it's certainly polite to do so. Additionally - the email you're forwarding may contain confidential or personal information - only intended for certain people. Forwarding such information without permission - could lead to you being held responsible for any 'damages' caused by the wrong person viewing the email.
Which configuration file makes the changes persist across reboots to disable packet forwarding?
Network Configuration and Management is the configuration file that makes the changes persist across reboots to disable packet forwarding.
What portion of the IP packet does a router use to make forwarding decisions?
buffer
When forwarding a packet which route will the packet select?
First, routing is the process a router performs when making forwarding decisions for each packet arriving at the gateway interface. To forward a packet to a destination network, the router requires a route to that network. If a route to a destination network does not exist on the router, the packet will be forwarded to the default gateway. Now, the destination network can be a number of routers or hops away from the default gateway. If the router has an entry for the network in its routing table, it would only indicate the next-hop router to which the packet is to be forwarded to and not the exact route to the final router. To sum it up, the routing process uses a routing table to map the destination address to the next hop and then forwards the packet to the next-hop address.
Which type of network is most commonly used to implement a message forwarding system using dedicated point-to-point connections?
A packet-switched network
What address is used to send packets that are destined for an outside network?
Router uses IP address of destination node to do the direct packet switching..while bridge & switch uses the MAC address to packet forwarding.

What is the difference between routing and forwarding?
routing refers to deciding the route of the packet from one system (a computer) to another system (a computer). It involves many intermediate routers and routing table knowledge.forwarding is a rather simple process of passing a packet from one port/interface to another port /interface. It generally involves one of the routers and routers forwarding table informationThat's what they called call forwarding service in telecommunication.
How can a bridge know whether to forward frames?
How can a bridge know whether to forward frames? Answer: The bridge builds a list of MAC addresses on either side of the bridge. Therefore, it knows which packets should be forwarded to the other side and which should not. In the example of a packet that uses a MAC address not in its table it can err on the side of caution by forwarding the packet.
What is difference between packet switching frame switching and cell switching?
Packet Switching refers to the transfering of the packet from 1 node to the other. Where as Cell Switching ,means the switching of a cell from 1 network to the other. Pls note that Packet and Cells are 2 different forms. Packet itself has header and pay load and but Packets are variable in size unlike cells which are fix. When packets are switched, the Packet Switch is used and that Switch looks for the next hop in its routing or forwarding table but when a cell is switched, ATM switches are used and the cells actually carry the data and the header and travels from 1 ATM switch to the other. The ATM switches donot use the complex method as Packet Switches use.
Is this sentence correct - forwarding this mail for your information?
It would be better to say, 'I am forwarding this mail, for your information.', or 'We are forwarding this mail for your information.'
Why do networking specialists say Switch where you can route where you must?
Yes, the main reason is switch is an inteligent device for routing IP Packet. It substitute conventional hub which is not smart because it broadcast IP packet to all its port. This impact to network performance because IP packet flooding network. While switch have internal routing table that can help switch to forwarding to a exact port where the destination host is connected to its switch port.
What is IP forwarding?
IP forwarding enables one workstation to sit on two LANs and to act as a gateway forwarding IP packets from one LAN to another. IP forwarding is also referred to as 'bridging' networks.
