Packet Switching Technology 4.3

The diagram above is a Packet Switching image that show how information gets broken up into pieces and sent by the client/server through the router. It displays concurrent data, which the job of sending the message and correcting it happens simultaneously. For the information to be sent correctly and on time, Packet Switching Technology is used. The message gets broken up into packages and gets put into the hands of TCP and IP. The IP and TCP have different roles regarding getting the information sent properly. The IP data-gram depends on the IP address, the address assigned to the computers and routers, otherwise the information would get lost. TCP helps the IP deliver the packets.
