Navigating through a network involves transmitting data from one device to another over an interconnected system of nodes. This process, known as packet switching, breaks down data into smaller units called packets and routes them through the network using routers, which determine the most efficient path based on routing protocols. As the packets traverse the network, they encounter various devices such as switches, hubs, and gateways, each facilitating communication and ensuring the reliable delivery of data to its intended destination.
