Describe what happens at each router as data is sent from one computer to another on a TCP/IP network such as the Internet.

What will be an ideal response?


When data is sent from one computer to another on a TCP/IP network such as the Internet that data can go through many routers before it reaches its destination. Each router strips off the incoming frame, determines where to send the data according to the IP address in the packet, creates a new frame, and then sends the packet within a frame on its merry way. The new frame type will be the appropriate technology for whatever connection technology connects to the next router. That could be a cable or DSL network connection, for example. The IP packet, on the other hand, remains unchanged.
