Q. How does Internet work?

Answer =

Working of Internet:-

(i) At the source computer, the message or the file/document to be sent to another computer is firstly divided into very small parts called Packets. A packet generally contains some information.

(ii) Each packet is given a number serial wise e.g., 1, 2, 3.

(iii) All these packets are then sent to the address of destination computer.

(iv) The destination computer receives the packets in random manner. (It may even receive packet 10 before packet 1 arrives). If a packet is garbled or lost, it is demanded again.

(v) The packets are reassembled in the order of their number and the original message/file/document is obtained.
