Lab 5.6.1:Skills integration challenge-Routing IP packets

Reflection:

What data can an IP Packet Contain?
The data that an IP packet contains is the information that will help carry the packet, to its destination. This is called the IP header. IT consists of the version, IHL, Type of service, packet length, Identification, flag, fragment offset, time to live, protocol, Header Checksum, Source Address, Destination address, Options, and padding. All of these will determine where the packet will go.

What is meant by the phrase "the IP packet is routed"?
What this means is that the packet is headed to the destination.

What is a Route?
A route is the path in which the packet takes to get to its destination

Where might things go wrong?
Things can go wrong if your internet connection has issues, and the header would not send.
