Packet Switching is the technique in which a stream of data is broken into standardised units called 'packets,' each of which contains address, sequence, control, size and error checking information in addition to the user data. Specialised packet switches operate on this added information to move the packets to their destination in the proper sequence and again present them in a contiguous stream. Research Packet Switching
