Packet Switching Technology is the process of breaking information into small chunks called data packets and the managing the transfer of those packets from computer to computer via the internet. This picture can illustrate different companies. Company server A is trying to send a data packet to their client Company server C. In order to do so the TCP breaks down the information and manages thr transfer. The IP defines how a packet must be formed to where a router (device used to connect 2 networks) must foward each packet. Each data packet also has their own IP datagram or specifications that gets sends to their own unique IP address. Lastly, the packets get send down a wire that is connected to several users, this is called concurrent data transmission.
