Detailed explanation-1: -The Internet works by chopping data into chunks called packets. Each packet then moves through the network in a series of hops. Each packet hops to a local Internet service provider (ISP), a company that offers access to the network–usually for a fee.
Detailed explanation-2: -Data sent over the internet is called a message, but before messages get sent, they’re broken up into tinier parts called packets. These messages and packets travel from one source to the next using Internet Protocol (IP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP).
Detailed explanation-3: -Packets are used for efficient and reliable transmission of data. Instead of transferring a huge file as a single data block, sending it in smaller packets improves transmission rates. Packets also enable multiple computers to share the same connection.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is a packet? All data sent over the Internet is broken down into smaller chunks called “packets."
Detailed explanation-5: -A network switch connects devices within a network (often a local area network, or LAN*) and forwards data packets to and from those devices.
