Question
Consider the following statements about the network layer in general and IP routers in particular. Which of the statements are correct? Information in an IP header is examined by every router the packet passes through, for example to decide how a packet is to be forwarded. Routers use the identifier field of the IP header to make sure that packets arrive in correct order. Before an IP packet can be sent, a connection must be established between sender and receiver. Fragmentation means that a router which detects bit errors drops packets with errors. A router does not change any information in an IP header. If an overloaded router can't accept more packets it will send an ICMP message back to the sender. Routers have a buffer memory for temporary storage of IP packets that are passing through the router.Explanation / Answer
Answer:
The right answers are :,
Explaination : Well IP header has source IP address ( it represents from where the packet is comming from ) and destination IP address which tells where this data is forwarded. Since the routers are dealing with IP addresses , so the routers look at the destination IP addresses and forwards it with the shortest path possible.
If we go through the IP header , we are seeing the ICMP protocol , it is used when the router overloadeds.
