Data Transfer between 2 PC's in lemon terms

If you are sending some file form PC-1 to PC-2 how that files goes ?

Data Generation: Data can be anything from a simple text message to a complex file. When you create or request data on your computer, it needs to be transmitted to another computer.

Packetization: Data is broken down into smaller chunks called packets. Each packet contains a piece of the original data along with additional information such as the source and destination addresses.

Routing: Once the data is packetized, it needs to find its way to the destination computer. This is where routing comes into play. Routers are devices that forward packets between networks based on their destination addresses.

Transmission: The packets are transmitted over a physical medium, such as Ethernet cables, Wi-Fi signals, or fiber-optic cables. Each packet travels independently and can take different routes to reach the destination.

Reassembly: When the packets arrive at the destination computer, they are reassembled into the original data. This process involves checking for any missing or corrupted packets and arranging them in the correct order.

Delivery: Finally, the reassembled data is delivered to the appropriate application or service on the destination computer, where it can be processed or displayed to the user.
