Detailed explanation-1: -TCP breaks up data received from the application layer into small pieces known as segments. To provide reliable transmission, the segments are numbered before being passed to the IP process, which encapsulates them into packets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Devices on a TCP/IP network divide data into small pieces, allowing the network to accommodate various bandwidths, to allow for multiple routes to a destination, and to retransmit the pieces of data which are interrupted or lost. Each piece is a packet, a term interchangeable with datagram.
Detailed explanation-3: -An illustration that highlights the transport layer within the TCP/IP stack. It establishes a reliable and error-free data connection between the application or device and the destination. The transport layer splits the data into smaller packets and numbers them in sequence.
