Switching refers to the process of directing data packets between devices on a network, ensuring efficient and accurate data transmission. It is a fundamental aspect of networking that involves various techniques to manage and optimize the flow of information across different network segments.

Switching

Data packets are structured units of data formatted for network transmission, containing headers, payload, and sometimes trailers, to ensure each piece arrives accurately and in sequence. They are fundamental to modern networking, enabling diverse and complex data exchange across the internet by using protocols to manage flow control, error detection, and congestion avoidance.
