So this is happening in all the packets in the network every time ? If yes is there another affectionate way to do this rather than try all the devices ? .. also that’s mean that if the network has a lot of connected devices that would be slower right ?

I always wondered how could just IP get a packet from point A to point B. That gives me a great scaffolding to learn more

‘Within any of your network’ is a lot of words and clunky to say ‘same subnet’.

How the Internet works:
1) If the target IP X is within any of your networks, lookup X's MAC and send the packet to it directly
2) If not, find a nexthop device within your network that knows how to reach X. Look up their MAC and send the packet to nexthop.
3) Repeat til X gets it
Step 2 is done with routing table, that gets updated by various protocols so that cost is involved ( shortest path, highest bandwidth )
