MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -The Internet Protocol (IP) is the protocol that describes how to route messages from one computer to another computer on the network. Each message is split up into packets, and the packets hop from router to router on the way to their destination.

Detailed explanation-2: -A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions between networks and on the global Internet.

Detailed explanation-3: -The router uses the information in the IP header to decide whether and where to forward each received packet, and which network interface to use to send the packet. Most packets are forwarded based on the packet’s IP destination address, along with routing information held within the router in a routing table.
