What Packet means
A packet is a structured block of digital information sent across a network. Every packet contains both the payload (actual data) and headers (routing information such as source, destination, and sequence). Network devices like routers and firewalls inspect, filter, and forward packets to ensure efficient and secure communication. Understanding packet flow is essential for troubleshooting, monitoring, and optimizing performance in managed networks. Learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_packet
