The forwarding plane in routing is responsible for determining what to do with incoming packets on a router. It uses a table to look up the destination address of the packet and retrieve the necessary information to determine the path to the outgoing interface. The forwarding plane can also drop packets based on security policies or decrement the time-to-live field.
