networking ..... (just a simple Q)

If we send information thru network , the file gets diveided into packets each having its own header. Ok

so if we send two files then how the computer differentiates between packets of one file with the packets of another file ???

Something more about packets...

Hi,

What I understand about Packets and thier headers, is that with every header there are fields that have an unique number and have details like the data is split in how many packets, which packet preceds/follows a particular packet.

Tha's why when there is an abrupt network disconnection, we get CRC errors.

Bye!

Google for OSI layers.

Files and Packets are existing at different layers.
