This may be a simple/dumb question but its been bothering me for days!

How does each controlling agency know who and what you are and your intentions are while flying on your route?

For example, I flew from SBP to BUR one day. Requested VFR flight following with Santa Barbara Approach and was on my way. How did LA Center, Point Mugu Approach, and SoCal Approach know what I was planning on doing. Did they check my filed flight plan?

Thanks in advance!
