IP Packets in the Network Layer
In computer networking, sending data relies on IP packets and IP addresses. Packets are small pieces of data that travel different paths across a network to reach their destination, where they are reassembled. The network layer manages the movement of these packets, allowing multiple users to exchange data at the same time. IP addresses are unique identifiers for each device on a network and help route packets to their destinations. This blog explains how IP packets work, the structure of IP addresses, and the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, offering a clear understanding of data transmission over the Internet.
