Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A network packet is divided into three parts; the header, payload, and trailer, each containing values that are characteristic of it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Packets consist of two portions: the header and the payload. The header contains information about the packet, such as its origin and destination IP addresses (an IP address is like a computer’s mailing address). The payload is the actual data.

Detailed explanation-3: -Routing is the process by which systems decide where to send a packet. Routing protocols on a system “discover” the other systems on the local network. When the source system and the destination system are on the same local network, the path that packets travel between them is called a direct route.
