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: -A single packet on a data link is known as Frame. A network packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network.
