Steps on executing interrupt:.

1) The current instruction is finished and next instruction address is saved in the PC i.e. program counter.

2) then it goes to the MEMORY (M) where the ISR (interrupt service routine) is there and execute the interrupt from it.

IP here is not Internet Protocol. It is Instruction Pointer(IP).

M means memory.

@ vani:

SVC means "Supervisor Call". it executes the interrupt routine while the memory is in execution. This SVS is related to "assembler".
