What happens in Stage 2?

Today, well yesterday, in class, we did an activity that simulated the boot-up process of a router. The process was broken into two stages and the first was just basic steps a router takes to start up such as performing the POST, copying the configuration files and such. The second stage focused on demonstrating how routers perform one of their main functions, which is forwarding packets. Stage two demonstrates how a packet is received from the Local Area Network via the NIC, represented by Student 6, and how the packet is processed before being forwarded to the next router through WAN.
