Detailed explanation-1: -A data packet is a unit of data made into a single package that travels along a given network path. Data packets are used in Internet Protocol (IP) transmissions for data that navigates the Web, and in other kinds of networks.
Detailed explanation-2: -In networking, a packet is a small segment of a larger message. Data sent over computer networks*, such as the Internet, is divided into packets. These packets are then recombined by the computer or device that receives them.
Detailed explanation-3: -A network packet is a basic unit of data that’s grouped together and transferred over a computer network, typically a packet-switched network, such as the internet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Here is what one of the four packets would contain: Each packet’s header will contain the proper protocols, the originating address (the IP address of your computer), the destination address (the IP address of the computer where you are sending the e-mail) and the packet number (1, 2, 3 or 4 since there are 4 packets).
Detailed explanation-5: -Packets are transmitted over a network from one computer to another. They are routed through a series of interconnected devices, such as routers and switches, before reaching their final destination. When packets arrive at their destination, they are reassembled into the original data.
