Network packet
A
network packet
is a formatted unit of
data
carried by a
packet-switched network
. Computer communications links that do not support packets, such as traditional
point-to-point telecommunications links
, simply transmit data as a
bit stream
. When data is formatted into packets, the
bandwidth
of the communication medium can be better shared among users than if the network were
circuit switched
.
