4.2 Packet Switching Technology

The server allows computers A and B to use the client on the computer in order to use packet switching to send information (concurrent data transmission) to the computers labeled C and D. These computers are connected by a router and are assigned an IP address. For this information to be sent through the air to another computer the packets have to go through the TCP/IP so the different networks can communicate with eachother.The packets that are being sent to the computers are IP datagrams when they conform to the IP specification.
