When the router receives a packet, the VINES IP entity on the router handles the
packet according to how it is addressed, as follows:
• Packets destined for the router
When the router receives a packet addressed to itself, it first reassembles the
packet, if it is fragmented. Next, the router ensures that the packet is not
corrupted by checking the checksum, if there is one. Finally, it passes the
packet up to the next level for processing.
