I think I get it, but I noticed the article doesn’t mention MAC addresses. Isn’ that important for a router to know? Does a router maintain a MAC table like a switch? Does the router also record the MAC address and Internal IP as packets leave the network? Does it have to make an ARP request every time to forward incoming packets to the requesting computer?
