Reliable data delivery between two end applications or protocol entities
It includes error recovery and packet loss recovery routines.
How to send TCP packets to the destination through the jungle of
computers on the Internet?
There are other similar protocols, e.g., UDP, in the same level, which is used
for application layer protocols to send data faster, i.e., best effort delivery.
They use IP (Internet Protocol) that provides best effort delivery service
between two hosts.


At every intersection, we need to check the road signs with your destination.
We decide the road to the next intersection that seems to be better.
In the Internet,

Decide the next hop, i.e., the next router, using the routing table
with the destination IP address and forward the packet to the next hop.






The destination IP address – Vancouver
Routers – intersections
Routing tables – road signs and maps
Repeat the above steps until the packet arrives at the destination.
How to construct the routing table on each node?
Now we know how IP packets are forwarded to the destination. But how does Love get
back any message from CBC?
