Internet routing

Internet routing is the process by which data packets travel across the vast network of interconnected computers and devices. When you send information, like an email or a webpage request, it gets broken into smaller packets. Routers, which are specialized devices, help determine the best path for these packets to reach their destination by analyzing network addresses and available routes. Each router forwards the packets along the way until they arrive at the correct server or recipient, ensuring efficient communication across the global network. This system allows millions of devices to connect and share information seamlessly.
