Each host has a default router or a list of routers in other networks. When IP
sends a datagram the following happens:
1. IP searches the routing table of the sending node for a default route or a
path to the destination IP address.
2. IP extracts the address of the default router or next-hop router from the
route entry.
3. IP requires ARP to map the next-hop address to its hardware address.
4. IP transmits the packet to the next hop.
5. IP repeats Steps 1 through 4 until the final destination is reached.
