Suppose we have a packet with source S, and destination D. At Ethernet0 with
address I we discover that we cannot forward the packet anymore. So we
generate an ICMP with source I and destination S and use Ethernet0's default
router (probably internal to the node because we a talking about a router) to
send the packet on its way to S.

Whether destination D is at Serial0 or not is irrelant.
