Packet Creation and Hop-by-Hop Routing
When data is transmitted across a network, it is broken down into small, individually addressed units called packets. Each packet is labeled with source and destination addresses and transmitted independently.
As packets travel across interconnected networks, intermediary devices known as routers inspect the destination IP address on each packet. Routers forward the packet along the best available path toward its ultimate destination, moving it hop by hop across networks. Once all packets reach the receiving destination, they are reassembled in the correct order.
