Packet

A group of binary digits switched as a whole – for instance, a file transfer over a packet switched network would require many steps. These steps are: 1) the data file would be broken down into smaller “packets” of information 2) each packet of information is assigned a code that enables it to be sent to the correct location and, once at that location, for the network to reassemble the packets of information into their original form.
