Chapter 8: Configuring IP Interfaces for the SSR
102
CoreWatch User’s Guide
To communicate with one another through the router, the hosts make entries in routing 
tables as shown in the following table. For example, host A communicates with host B by 
using the route specified with the 11.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 entry in the host A routing table. That 
entry states that host A uses the router at 10.0.0.1 as a gateway when it wants to 
communicate with host B on the 11.0.0.0 network.
The previous table provides information about network routes rather than host routes. If 
the previous table was providing information about host routes rather than network 
routes, each host’s routing table would list the other host’s IP address as the destination. 
When a packet is sent, the entire route is not known at the source. Instead, packets travel 
to their destination one hop at a time. At each stop, a router calculates the next destination 
by matching the destination address with entries in that router's routing table. This is 
similar to sending a letter through the United States postal service. The envelope has the 
ultimate destination address. Each post office along the way checks the ultimate 
destination and determines the next-hop (the next post office). When the letter gets to the 
post office that is serving the address on the envelope, the letter is delivered directly to the 
address.
In addition to providing connectionless deliveries, IP fragments and reassembles packets. 
IP does not guarantee that the packets will arrive in order or at all, nor does IP report 
packet errors back to the source. Guarantee delivery is the responsibility of TCP, and the 
reporting of packet errors is the responsibility of ICMP.
A Look at IP Addresses
When configuring the SSR, you will be required to enter IP address information. These 32-
bit addresses, which identify a connection to a network rather than a particular system, 
include both a network ID and a host ID. If a network is part of the internet, the network 
number is assigned by the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC). Host 
numbers are assigned by you or another local network administrator.
