Packets may travel different routes to the same destination, and are frequently dropped along the way.

|
|
If TCP does not receive all packets for a particular communication, then every single packet must be re-sent.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Different paths can be used to route packets to their destination. This process is known as packet switching.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is true regarding the way information is transmitted on the Internet? Information does not travel in one piece, but rather as a data stream of packets.
Detailed explanation-4: -Packet-switching: When a packet is sent from one device out over the Internet, it does not follow a straight path to its destination. Instead, it is passed from one router to another across the Internet until it is reaches its destination. In fact, sometimes two packets from the same message will take different routes!
