Packets & Routing

Packets is when information is put into small pieces and then it travels from devices to another device to transfer information. A good example is a space shuttle, they can't move the whole space to the taking off because it so big. So, they would pull it apart into small pieces, so they can transfer it easily.

Routing is when there is a lot of information, so the information finds another to get to the other device. A great example is when you are in the car and you are using the GPS. There usually a traffic jam, so your GPS would rout you to a different road, so you can go to your destination quicker.
