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: -The Internet works by chopping data into chunks called packets. Each packet then moves through the network in a series of hops. Each packet hops to a local Internet service provider (ISP), a company that offers access to the network – usually for a fee.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why use packets? Packets are used for efficient and reliable transmission of data. Instead of transferring a huge file as a single data block, sending it in smaller packets improves transmission rates. Packets also enable multiple computers to share the same connection.
