What destination IP address will PC1 place in the header for a packet destined for PC2?

A data packet is split into three parts: The header, the payload and the trailer.
The header contains the basic instructions about the data packet which should include:
The packet length
Synchronization (a few check bits to match up to the network)
Originating IP Address (i.e. PC 1)
Destination IP Address (i.e. PC 2)
Protocol
Packet number
The payload is the main body of data that is being sent. The size of the data can be a fixed length or a variable amount. If it is a fixed length, then this can be padded with blank data, so that each packet remains the same size.
The trailer or footer contains data that tells the destination computer that it has reached the end of the packet. The trailer may also contain error checking information. This will tell the receiving computer to tell the originating source that the information was received.

Which part of an ip packet does the router use to make routing decisions?
the network portion of the destination ip address
What is the role of the address field in a packet travelling through a datagram?
There are two address fields. Source is the IP address the packet came from and destination is the IP address the packet is meant to be delivered to.
How is data passed in packets?
The details vary enormously from protocol to protocol, but the basics are the same for all of them. A stream of data is split into packets, the packet has a header which contains (amongst other things) the destination for the packet. The network uses the destination address to deliver the network to the correct destination.
Which portion of the packet does a router use to forward the packet to the destination?
The Destination Address (Layer 2 or Layer 3)
What does unicast transmission mean?
Unicast transmission is a commonly used term in the technology world. Unicast transmission is essentially the sending of messages to a single network destination, which is identified by an address.
What three processes does a router execute when it receives a packet from one network that is destined for another network?
decapsulates the Layer 3 packet by stripping off the Layer 2 frame header uses the destination IP Address in the IP header to look up the next-hop address in the routing table encapsulates the Layer 3 packet into the new Layer 2 frame and forwards it out the exit interface
Which part of an ip packet does the router use to make routing decisions?
the network portion of the destination ip address
Receives a packet that is destined for 192.168.1.4 How will router treat the packet?
the router will enqueue the packet that is sent to the destination 192.168.1.4.and then that packet is sent on transmission media(cable).it checks every ip address that is holding the ip same as the destination ,if it reaches there then it deleiver it on that machine.
What is the role of the address field in a packet travelling through a datagram?
There are two address fields. Source is the IP address the packet came from and destination is the IP address the packet is meant to be delivered to.
In the IP Protocol What is the header overhead?
Internet Protocol, or IP, puts a header on every packet that it sounds out. This header is the overhead. All protocols, such as TCP or UDP, will put a header on the packet. The IP header contains information such as source IP address and destination IP address and is used by routers to figure out where to send the packet. ex. you send your friend a 1kb file, but it takes up 1.5kb of bandwidth due to overhead
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.
How do packets get to the right computer?
Each packet carries the address of the intended recipient. Each computer has a unique address. It works rather like the postal system.

Firewall is a router that examines the header of every packet of data it receives to determine whether that type of packet is authorized to continue to its destination?
