subnet mask
destination IP address
Routers
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.
The Destination Address (Layer 2 or Layer 3)
in general the router uses the network address to compare to the routing table. Specifically, on the internet, the Router looks up the destination IP address in the router table to determine where to route the packet.
The source MAC address within a frame is used by the switch to associate a port with that MAC address. Frames are directed by the switch from one port to another based on the destination MAC address within the frame.

the address Class
No, it is not. A destination IP address may be any address, usually on a completely different network. The default gateway address is used to determine where to send packets that need to be routed outside of the current local area network.
network portion of ip address
to initiate a ping to determine if a destination address is reachable
network portion of ip address
The destination address field in a frame refers to the physical (or MAC) address of the destination node.

The possible states that define an instruction execution are as follows: Instruction address calculation - Determine the address of the next instruction to be executed. Instruction fetch - Read instruction from its memory location into the processor. Instruction operation decoding - Analyze instruction to determine type of operation to be performed and operand to be used. Operand address calculation - If the operation involves reference to an operand in memory or available via I/O, then determine the address of the operand. Operand fetch - Fetch the operand from memory or read it in from I/O. Data operation - Perform the operation indicated in the instruction. Operand store - Write the result into memory or out to I/O.
