Packetswitching

Packet switching is a method of transmitting data over a network by breaking it into small units called packets. Each packet contains part of the data along with information about its destination. These packets travel independently through the network, often taking different routes, and are reassembled at the destination to recreate the original data. This approach is efficient, flexible, and allows multiple users to share the same network resources simultaneously, optimizing bandwidth and reducing congestion. Packet switching is the foundation of the internet, enabling reliable and scalable data communication across diverse devices and locations.
