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.

Therefore, A packet, may not on its own reach anywhere it wants. Though, we may assume, the packet themselves will become intelligent, in the near future, to have all information contained within itself.
With respect to the OP, and the subject line, "Understanding the Linux Kernel", Oreilly Publications, is a good book.

So by inference those that cannot go anywhere without network's intelligence have no intelligence and cannot go anywhere. So those who seek guidance are not capable of research.

JTD, thanks for pointing out that flaw in Roshan's analogy. But could we all just drop it and stay on topic?
