packetdata
Packetdata refers to the fundamental units of information transmitted across computer networks. When data is sent over a network, it is broken down into smaller, manageable pieces called packets. Each packet contains a portion of the original data, along with header information. This header provides crucial details such as the source and destination IP addresses, allowing routers to guide the packet to its intended recipient. It also includes sequencing information, which helps reassemble the packets in the correct order at the destination.
The structure of a packet can vary depending on the network protocol being used, such as TCP/IP
