If I send a packet to <IP address>, how does the router
know where to send it to?
I saw on a video on the net, where Vint Cerf
*himself* said that an IP address has <some bits> reserved for
country, then city, and so on.... is that true?

PHONE no...? :)
(I've already read a book on networks, but this was not
explained....)
Thanks.
