If this system analyst was *good*, there would not be any need to ask.

If you want to see source code, look into the Linux or BSD kernel
networking code. The basic stuff ("lookup of IP routes and masks")
has to follow the same rules everywhere.
Vendors have their optimizations, of course, making this lookup faster,
adding caching, or implementing it in specialized hardware. But the
basic principle is usually similar.
