Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each packet carries the information that will help it get to its destination–the sender’s IP address, the intended receiver’s IP address, something that tells the network how many packets this e-mail message has been broken into and the number of this particular packet.

Detailed explanation-2: -TCP works with the Internet Protocol (IP), which defines how computers send packets of data to each other. Together, TCP and IP are the basic rules that define the internet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each packet or chunk of data forms part of a complete message and carries pertinent address information that helps identify the sending computer and intended recipient of the message. A network packet has three parts: the packet header, payload and trailer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Packets consist of two portions: the header and the payload. The header contains information about the packet, such as its origin and destination IP addresses (an IP address is like a computer’s mailing address). The payload is the actual data.
