Data Packet – IP Packet – What is this packet story all about?

From the computer networking point of view, a packet is referred to a planned data unit. But certain computer communication links such as point to point communication don’t support data packets. In such cases, data is simply transmitted as an array of bytes or characters etc over the medium. Anyway, transformation of data into packets is a good way to achieve better bitrate of a communication medium in the course of sharing data amongst the users.
