            DATA TRANSFER ON THE INTERNET
         here are two fundamental concepts to the way the Internet functions:  ackets and  rotocols.

        Packets
        In networking, a packet is a small segment of a large message.
        Each packet contains data and information about that data. The
        information about the packet’s content is known as the header,
        and it goes at the front of the packet so that the receiving machine
        knows what to do with the packet.

         hen data gets sent over the Internet  it is first broken up into
        smaller packets  which are then translated into bits. The packets
        get routed to their destination by various networking devices
        such as routers and switches. When the packets arrive at their
        destination, the  receiving device  reassembles the packets  in
        order to use or display.
