<h1 id="ip-routing-and-data-link-layer">IP Routing and Data Link Layer</h1>
<p>We will dig how packets that leave the client reach the server and vice versa. When the packet reaches the IP layer, the transport layer populates source port, destination port. IP/Network layer populates destination IP(discovered from DNS) and then looks up the route to the destination IP on the routing table. </p>

<p>Here the destination IP is bitwise AND’d with the Genmask and if the answer is the destination part of the table then that gateway and interface is picked for routing. Here linkedin.com’s IP 108.174.10.10 is AND’d with 255.255.255.0 and the answer we get is 108.174.10.0 which doesn’t match with any destination in the routing table. Then Linux does an AND of destination IP with 0.0.0.0 and we get 0.0.0.0. This answer matches the default row</p>
<p>Routing table is processed in the order of more octets of 1 set in genmask and genmask 0.0.0.0 is the default route if nothing matches.
At the end of this operation Linux figured out that the packet has to be sent to next hop 172.17.0.1 via eth0. The source IP of the packet will be set as the IP of interface eth0.
