The Internet uses a system of packets to send information. This means that whatever you are doing, whether accessing [[Facebook|FaceBook]], making a Skype call, playing an on-line game, downloading a file or reading an email, the information is broken down in to packets. These are not always the same size, and are typically up to around 1500 bytes (or characters) of data at a time. |
