Packet Switching Technology



Computers A and B would be the servers that deliver messages and information through the router to the clients C and D. This is capable because of packet-switching technology which is the delivery of data and information across networks. Packet switching allows for a single channel to be used for multiple concurrent data transmissions. TP breaks the information into small chunks called data packages and manages the transfer of those packets from computer to computer. Every computer connected to the internet is given a unique address called an IP address. The data packets that conforms to this IP specification is called an IP datagram.
