माहीती पाठविण्यापूर्वी तिचे तुकड्यात रूपांतर करण्यात येते, अश्या तुकड्यास काय म्हणतात ?

The correct answer is Option A (Packets).

Key Points:
• In packet-switching telecommunications networks (such as the Internet governed by TCP/IP), large messages or data streams are broken down into small, standardized chunks before transmission, which are called Packets (पॅकेट्स).
• Structure of a data packet:
• 1. Header: Contains sender and destination IP addresses, sequence numbering, and protocol details.
• 2. Payload: The actual segment of the message data being carried.
• 3. Trailer: Contains error-detection checksums (e.g., CRC) to verify data integrity upon arrival.
• These packets travel independently through routers across diverse network routes and are seamlessly reassembled in correct numerical sequence at the recipient destination.
• Bit, Byte (8 bits), and Nibble (4 bits) are units of binary digital memory measurement rather than segmented transmission units.
• The official MPSC final answer key confirms Option 1 (Packets).
• Key Takeaway: In packet-switched computer networks, messages are broken into small segments called Packets before transmission.
