Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each time one device sends a file to another, it breaks the file down into packets so that it can determine the most efficient route for sending the data across the network at that time.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -If the packet is too big to travel in between two routing devices, it gets broken into fragments. These fragments look like IP packets in their own right and can traverse the network. They are reassembled when they reach their destination.
