Detailed explanation-1: -In networking, a packet is a small segment of a larger message. Data sent over computer networks*, such as the Internet, is divided into packets. These packets are then recombined by the computer or device that receives them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Packets can arrive out of order. That can happen especially if two packets follow different paths to the destination. Packets can be corrupted, which means that for some reason, the received data no longer matches the originally sent data.
Detailed explanation-3: -Packets will travel from one machine to another until they reach their destination. As the packets arrive, the computer receiving the data assembles the packets like a puzzle, recreating the message. All data transfers across the Internet work on this principle.
