--> If the destination network is directly connected, the router forwards the packet to the destination host. --> If no route exists for the destination network and a default route is present, the packet is forwarded to the next-hop router. --> If the originating host has a default gateway configured, the packet for a remote network can be forwarded using that route.
What is packet ratio?
the ratio of the number of delivered data packet to the destination. This illustrates the level of delivered data to the destination.∑ Number of packet receive / ∑ Number of packet send
