If we are sending a file in one go and if some error occurred in between the file transfer then the complete file has to be resend which wastes the bandwidth so to prevent this, the file to send is divided in to smaller unit which we call packet, and then send packets 1 by one so that if a packet is lost then we need to send only that particular packet not the complete file. As the packet reaches its destination, the destination source send acknowledgement to the sender that the packet has reached to it and it may send the next packet and if packet somehow lost before reaching to the destination source, then the sender itself resends the packet after a fixed amount of time.

Definition of Router in computer networking?
In networking there is a source and a destination and when both of them communicates there is transfer of packets. There are many routes that can be taken to deliever packet from source to destination but out of all the routes the best route is to be selected, which is done by router and this process is called as routing.
What is packet forwarding?
Packet forwarding in simple terms is the forwarding of packets from one node to another from networking point of view. For example, a router or a switch. These networking devices make routing devices with the help of their routing tables and then select an outgoing interface. After that they make some changes in the packet header and push (forward) the packet to the selected interface. In case you don't know the meaning of packet. Packer is the smallest unit of size in networking. Different networks has different packet size. For example, in ATM Networks the packet size is of 53 Bytes.
What is Packet Corruption in computer networking?
The loss of data packets during transmission.
What is the definition of marking tools?

PACKET MARKING TECHNIQUE AND AGENT DESIGN ON DDOS ATTACKS?
marking packets with the router's IP address, analysis shows that in order to gain the correct attack path
How do you make model on networking of computer?
Using packet tracer. It is basically a software which helps you simulate the network.
What networking protocol was first used by Novell NetWare and is not supported on the Internet?
IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange) is not supported on internet.
What network is hybrid?

How does the use of a networking switch minimize problems with packet sniffing in a LAN?
In a LAN, the use of a networking switch can minimize problems with packet sniffing by implementing IPsec at layer 3which encrypts transmissions across the network link. (These damn ITT tech questions can be a pain sometimes, eh?)
