through a cable. This hub is the central node and all others nodes are
connected to the central node.

It is a point-to-point connection to other nodes or devices. All the network
nodes are connected to each other. Mesh has n(n-1)/2 physical channels to
link n devices.

Q18. Explain the process of data transfer over internet. [5]

Ans- Steps followed while transferring data are

 The data is broken up into bits of same sized pieces called packets.
 A header is added to each packet explaining where the data has come
from, where it should end up and where it fits in with the rest of the packets.

Each packet is sent from computer to computer until it finds its destination.

 Each computer on the way decides where next to send the packet. All
packets may not take the same route.

 At the destination, the packets are examined. If any packets are missing or
damaged, a message is sent asking for them to be re-sent. This continues
until all packets have been received intact.

 The packets are now reassembled into their original form.
