Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Step 1: Data is divided into small pieces, called packets.
Step 2: Packets travel over the Internet via routers.
Step 3: At the destination, the packets are reassembled into the original message.
If the most direct path to the destination is overloaded or not operating, routers send the packets along alternate paths. Although each packet may arrive out of sequence, the destination computer uses the sequence information contained in each packet to reassemble the original message, file, document, or request.
