Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Data packets are usually ____ bytes in size.
A
50-1, 500
B
300-1000
C
500-1, 500
D
2000-15, 000
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A typical packet contains perhaps 1, 000 or 1, 500 bytes. Each packet is then sent off to its destination by the best available route–a route that might be taken by all the other packets in the message or by none of the other packets in the message. This makes the network more efficient.

Detailed explanation-2: -Packets are the fixed-size chunks of data that transfer requests and results between clients and servers. The default packet size is 4, 096 bytes.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you send a message, an image, a video, or any form of communication over a network, they are divided into smaller chunks called “data packets.” A packet may contain around 1, 000–1, 500 bytes of data, so the number of packets that make up a whole piece of data vary depending on its size.
