They see the address and port number and delivers or forwards the received packet to the address and port number. (information in IP header) If it is the on the end hosts, it basically forwards the packet to the transport layer (TCP/IP). Notice that IP only tries best-effort delivery, no guarantee that the packet will be send to/forward to the end hosts.
