This adsl modem is in bridged mode, so the public ip is assigned to eth3 say 11. Routing table provides the device with instructions for sending the packet to the next hop on its route across the network. The packet is encapsulated into a ppp frame, and r1 adds the ppp destination address to the frame. A routing table usually contains the ip address of a destination network and the ip address of the next gateway along the path to the final network destination. Dynamic routing, or smart routing if you wish, means that the system can alter automatically, as needed, the route that a packet follows. Each packet contains information about its origin and destination. For normal unicast routes it is either the true next hop router or, if it is a direct route.
