Packet Forwarding

Packet forwarding is the process used by network devices, like routers, to direct data packets across a network. When you send information over the internet, it's broken into smaller packets. Each packet contains destination information that helps routers determine the best path to reach its target. As packets travel through multiple routers, they are forwarded toward their destination based on network rules and the best available routes. This ensures that your data reaches its endpoint quickly and efficiently, enabling seamless communication and internet browsing.
