How does the destination system know how to put packets in the correct order?

What will be an ideal response?


Software at the Transport layer on the sending system gives each packet a sequence number. When the packets arrive at the destination, the Transport layer software of the receiving system uses the sequencing numbers to put them back together. On the receiving end, Transport layer software removes the chunks of data and assembles the small chunks into its original data sequence for use by upper-layer software. As such, it is the assembler/disassembler.
