When I subscribe DSL/Cable mdoedm, I have two or more hosts connected to my router, router to DSL modem/Cable modem, then to DSLAM in exchange, then to BRAS or Router?. How all these packets moves back and forth, also how the each end host receives correct info back when multiple hosts connected?. Which layer keeps track of all these these things.
Can somebody tell me how packets will be forwarded from PC <-> switch <-> DSL <-> ISP
