pakettsüsteemid

Pakettsüsteemid, or packet-switched networks, are a type of computer network that groups data into packets before sending it over a network. Each packet contains a portion of the data, as well as information about the destination, source, and sequence number. This allows for efficient use of network resources and improved reliability. In a packet-switched network, packets can take different routes to reach their destination, which can lead to faster delivery times and better handling of network congestion. This is in contrast to circuit-switched networks, where a dedicated path is established for the duration of the communication session. Packet-switched networks are the foundation of the modern internet and are used in various applications, including email, web browsing, and streaming services. They are also used in private networks, such as those found in businesses and organizations. The most common protocols used in packet-switched networks include the Internet Protocol (IP) and the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
