Simplified IP datagram routing algorithm z/OS Communications Server: IP Diagnosis Guide GC27-3652-02 |

To route an IP datagram on the network, the algorithm shown in Figure 1 is used. Figure 1. General IP routing
algorithm
Using this general routing algorithm, it is easy to determine
where an IP datagram is routed. Following is a simple example based
on the configuration shown in Figure 1.
Machine A sends a datagram to host 192.9.200.3 (Machine B), using the direct route, 192.9.200.1 (its own network interface). Machine A sends a datagram to host 9.67.32.2 (Machine C), using the indirect route, 192.9.200.2 (Machine D), and Machine D then forwards the datagram to Machine C. |
