The internet

The internet

1. Data is split into small chunks called packets

2. Each packet is sent along the lowest cost route

3. The packets are reassembled on the other side

4. A cost is assagined to each connection in a mesh

   • Route finding algorithms are used to find the lowest cost route between two nodes

5. The internet is a giant mesh of computers

   • There are multiple different rourltes between two nodes
     • It is impossible to break the internet since another route can always be found
