So if a router does not find an address in its routing table it forwards the packet to other connected routers? &nbsp;I just want to make sure what happens if a router does not find an address in its routing table. &nbsp;Thanks

I need to know all of the steps of what happens behind the scene when a user wants to go to a website like <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="ugc">www.google.com</a>. &nbsp;What happens from the point the user request that from his computer's browser and he gets back the Google webpage. &nbsp;Please include the entire round trip steps including how routers pass along the request, how and when DNS comes in to play, etc...

Steps of how a webpage request gets resolved on the internet

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
