Packets and You • Packets are simply small bundles of data sent over the Internet or a network. • Each packet contains information about where the data is going. • Packets fly across the net in different directions, looking for their destination.
Packets and You • TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/Internet protocol) makes sure that packets are addressed and arrive properly. • When all the packets arrive, they are put together like a puzzle and displayed on your machine. • (If a packet is missing, TCP/IP lets the browser know so it can resend the packet) So.. Without TCP/IP, packets would simply sit in a digital pile with nothing to do.
