Ip packets are forwarded using the default gateway that is being used by the host.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ip packets are forwarded using the default gateway that is being used by the host, where it has placed their destination addresses on the outside of the local subnet. The default router is another representation of the default gateway. It is also known as the default router. The computer sends the packets to the default router when it wishes to send to any other subnet. In-network this device is being a point of access to the other networks.
