It depends on the destination address of the IP packet and
the computer's route table. If the destination address of
the packet is somewhere in your internal LAN, then it will
probably be sent out your eth0 interface (for example). If
it is destin for somewhere in the Internet, then it might
be sent out your ppp0 interface. This is assuming your ppp0
interface is your connection to the Internet and your eth0
your LAN, like a lot of individuals.
In short, an outbound IP packet is transmitted by the
appropriate interface on the computer according to the
computer's route table.
