Networks - Data Packets (1 of 2) |   |
Networks
|
| When a workstation wishes
to send data, it uses the client network software
to enclose the data in a 'packet' containing a
'header' and a 'trailer'. |
 |
| The header and trailer contain information for
the destination computer. For example, the header
contains the address of the destination computer.
The exact form the
packets take is determined by the protocol the
network uses. |
