So, a better solution evolved for data transmission called packet switching. The performance of packet switching is called best effort. The packets can be routed, combined or fragmented, as required to get them to their eventual destination.
Packet switching is a digital network transmission process in which data is broken into suitablysized pieces or blocks for fast and efficient transfer via different network devices. At the destination, all these smallparts packets has to be reassembled, belonging to the same file. The ability that your computer can run at osilayer 4 using tcpip makes it possible to use this device to run a firewall on it.
