An analogy to this is the packet switched network
(Internet). A packet has its headers,(source and
destination), along with necessary information (its
data), but to reach the destination, each router has
to route the packet through the best possible way,
where the router has the knowledge of how the network
is.

With respect to the OP, and the subject line,
"Understanding the Linux Kernel", Oreilly
