The Netopia Router’s connection profiles for Routers B and C create

 

 

entries in its IP routing table. One entry points to the subnet

 

 

 

a.b.c.128, while a second entry points to the subnet a.b.c.248. The

 

 

IP routing table might look similar to the following:

UPDATE

Let’s see how a packet from the Internet gets routed to the host with IP address a.b.c.249, which is served by Router C. The packet first arrives at Router A, which delivers it to its local network (a.b.c.0). The packet is then received by the Netopia Router, which examines its destination IP address.
