The slide shows the flowchart of the routing process.
Before complete confusion takes over here, there are some entities that need to be explained about the IP layer that allow the internet to operate. In other words, when a router receives a packet, how does it know where and how to send these packets? In order for a packet to be delivered through a router, the router must know which path to deliver the packet to in order for the packet to reach its final destination. This is accomplished through IP routing algorithms, which involves two steps: maintaining a table of known routes (network numbers), and learning new routes (network numbers) when they become available.
